We want to enable cross-filesystem copy_file_range functionality where possible, so push the "same superblock only" checks down to the individual filesystem callouts so they can make their own decisions about cross-superblock copy offload and fallack to generic_copy_file_range() for cross-superblock copy. [Amir] We do not call ->remap_file_range() in case the files are not on the same sb and do not call ->copy_file_range() in case the files do not belong to the same filesystem driver. This changes behavior of the copy_file_range(2) syscall, which will now allow cross filesystem in-kernel copy. CIFS already supports cross-superblock copy, between two shares to the same server. This functionality will now be available via the copy_file_range(2) syscall.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
