2017-09-26vfs: Return -ENXIO for negative SEEK_HOLE / SEEK_DATA offsetsAndreas Gruenbacher
In generic_file_llseek_size, return -ENXIO for negative offsets as well as offsets beyond EOF. This affects filesystems which don't implement SEEK_HOLE / SEEK_DATA internally, possibly because they don't support holes. Fixes xfstest generic/448.

2016-12-16vfs: fix vfs_clone_file_range() for overlayfs filesAmir Goldstein
With overlayfs, it is wrong to compare file_inode(inode)->i_sb of regular files with those of non-regular files, because the former reference the real (upper/lower) sb and the latter reference the overlayfs sb. Move the test for same super block after the sanity tests for clone range of directory and non-regular file. This change fixes xfstest generic/157, which returned EXDEV instead of EISDIR/EINVAL in the following test cases over overlayfs: echo "Try to reflink a dir" _reflink_range $testdir1/dir1 0 $testdir1/file2 0 $blksz echo "Try to reflink a device" _reflink_range $testdir1/dev1 0 $testdir1/file2 0 $blksz Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@redhat.com>

2016-12-09fs: try to clone files first in vfs_copy_file_rangeChristoph Hellwig
A clone is a perfectly fine implementation of a file copy, so most file systems just implement the copy that way. Instead of duplicating this logic move it to the VFS. Currently btrfs and XFS implement copies the same way as clones and there is no behavior change for them, cifs only implements clones and grow support for copy_file_range with this patch. NFS implements both, so this will allow copy_file_range to work on servers that only implement CLONE and be lot more efficient on servers that implements CLONE and COPY.

Both import_iovec() and rw_copy_check_uvector() take an array (typically small and on-stack) which is used to hold an iovec array copy from userspace. This is to avoid an expensive memory allocation in the fast path (i.e. few iovec elements). The caller may have to check whether these functions actually used the provided buffer or allocated a new one -- but this differs between the too.
