[PATCH v3 00/10] Add Copy offload support

From: Nitesh Shetty
Date: Mon Feb 14 2022 - 03:34:59 EST


The patch series covers the points discussed in November 2021 virtual call
[LSF/MM/BFP TOPIC] Storage: Copy Offload[0].
We have covered the Initial agreed requirements in this patchset.
Patchset borrows Mikulas's token based approach for 2 bdev
implementation.

Overall series supports –

1. Driver
- NVMe Copy command (single NS), including support in nvme-target (for
block and file backend)

2. Block layer
- Block-generic copy (REQ_COPY flag), with interface accommodating
two block-devs, and multi-source/destination interface
- Emulation, when offload is natively absent
- dm-linear support (for cases not requiring split)

3. User-interface
- new ioctl

4. In-kernel user
- dm-kcopyd
