For direct block device opened with O_DIRECT, use copy_file_range to

device copy offload capability is absent.
...if the device does not support copy offload or the device files are not open
with O_DIRECT.

No ?
Yes your right. We will fallback to generic_copy_file_range in either of
these cases.

Modify checks to allow bdevs to use copy_file_range.

What is the "failfast" in the name for ?
We dont want failed copy offload IOs to fallback to block layer copy emulation.
We wanted a API to return error, if offload fails.

You do not need this initialization.
we need this initialization, because __blkdev_copy_offload return number of
bytes copied or error value.
So we can not return 0, incase of success/partial completion.
blkdev_copy_offload_failfast is expected to return number of bytes copied.

Given that I think we do not allow copies between different devices, in_q and
out_q should always be the same, no ?
acked, will update this.

Same here. Why pass 2 bdevs if we only allow copies within the same device ?
acked, will update function arguments to take single bdev.

Nack, explained above.
