Introduce blkdev_copy_offload which takes similar arguments as
copy_file_range and performs copy offload between two bdevs.

I am confused... I thought it was discussed to only allow copy offload only
within a single bdev for now... Did I missi something ?


Yes, you are right. copy is supported within single bdev only.
We will update this.

Introduce REQ_OP_COPY_DST, REQ_OP_COPY_SRC operation.
Issue REQ_OP_COPY_DST with destination info along with taking a plug.
This flows till request layer and waits for src bio to get merged.
Issue REQ_OP_COPY_SRC with source info and this bio reaches request
layer and merges with dst request.
For any reason, if request comes to driver with either only one of src/dst
info we fail the copy offload.

Larger copy will be divided, based on max_copy_sectors limit.

According to patch 1, this can end up being 0, so the loop below will be infinite.


Agreed. As you suggested earlier, once we remove copy_offload parameter
and checking copy_max_sector to identify copy offload capabilty should
solve this.

Thank you,
