A regression has been reported by Nicolas Boichat, found while using the
copy_file_range syscall to copy a tracefs file.
Before commit 5dae222a5f ("vfs: allow copy_file_range to copy across
devices") the kernel would return -EXDEV to userspace when trying to
copy a file across different filesystems. After this commit, the
syscall doesn't fail anymore and instead returns zero (zero bytes
copied), as this file's content is generated on-the-fly and thus reports
a size of zero.
Another regression has been reported by He Zhe - the assertion of
WARN_ON_ONCE(ret == -EOPNOTSUPP) can be triggered from userspace when
copying from a sysfs file whose read operation may return -EOPNOTSUPP.
Since we do not have test coverage for copy_file_range() between any two
types of filesystems, the best way to avoid these sort of issues in the
future is for the kernel to be more picky about filesystems that are
allowed to do copy_file_range().
This patch restores some cross-filesystem copy restrictions that existed
prior to commit 5dae222a5f ("vfs: allow copy_file_range to copy across
devices"), namely, cross-sb copy is not allowed for filesystems that do
not implement ->copy_file_range().
Filesystems that do implement ->copy_file_range() have full control of
the result - if this method returns an error, the error is returned to
the user. Before this change this was only true for fs that did not
implement the ->remap_file_range() operation (i.e. nfsv3).
Filesystems that do not implement ->copy_file_range() still fall-back to
the generic_copy_file_range() implementation when the copy is within the
same sb. This helps the kernel can maintain a more consistent story
about which filesystems support copy_file_range().
nfsd and ksmbd servers are modified to fall-back to the
generic_copy_file_range() implementation in case vfs_copy_file_range()
fails with -EOPNOTSUPP or -EXDEV, which preserves behavior of
server-side-copy.
fall-back to generic_copy_file_range() is not implemented for the smb
operation FSCTL_DUPLICATE_EXTENTS_TO_FILE, which is arguably a correct
change of behavior.
