Implementaion is based on existing read and write infrastructure.
copy_max_bytes: A new configfs and module parameter is introduced, which
can be used to set hardware/driver supported maximum copy limit.

how about following ? matches nullb_device->copy_max_bytes type ..

acked, one doubt I see checkpatch complains
"WARNING: quoted string split across lines".
Is there any graceful way to avoid this warning ?

do you really need to use memcpy here ? can token->subsys be a pointer
and use with assignment token->subsys = nullb ?


We do have token->nullb, which stores this device.
Idea behind token->subsys is to differentiate between different types of
copies. Like copy between namespace, across namespace etc.

+ token->sector_in = bio->bi_iter.bi_sector;
+ token->nullb = nullb;
+ token->sectors = bio->bi_iter.bi_size >> SECTOR_SHIFT;
+
+ return 0;
+}
+

no point in return 1 , use local bool for fua instead of repeating
expression and no need to fold line for nullb_setup_copy_read()
makes is easy to read and removes extra lines and indentation see below :-

if you meant, token->subsys = "nullb", yeah we can add this in next
version.
