Hi Martin, Christoph,
We have addressed most of the review-comments received from community in
the previous iterations of this series.
Is it possible to know your opinion on this, what needs to be added to
get this series merged?

The patch series covers the points discussed in past and most recently
in LSFMM'23[0].
We have covered the initial agreed requirements in this patch set and
further additional features suggested by community.

This is next iteration of our previous patch set v18[1].
Copy offload is performed using two bio's -
1. Take a plug
2. The first bio containing destination info is prepared and sent,
        a request is formed.
3. This is followed by preparing and sending the second bio containing the
        source info.
4. This bio is merged with the request containing the destination info.
5. The plug is released, and the request containing source and destination
        bio's is sent to the driver.
This design helps to avoid putting payload (token) in the request,
as sending payload that is not data to the device is considered a bad
approach.

So copy offload works only for request based storage drivers.
We can make use of copy emulation in case copy offload capability is
absent.

Overall series supports:
========================
	1. Driver
		- NVMe Copy command (single NS, TP 4065), including support
		in nvme-target (for block and file back end).

	2. Block layer
		- Block-generic copy (REQ_OP_COPY_DST/SRC), operation with
                  interface accommodating two block-devs
                - Merging copy requests in request layer
		- Emulation, for in-kernel user when offload is natively
                absent
		- dm-linear support (for cases not requiring split)

	3. User-interface
		- copy_file_range

Testing
=======
	Copy offload can be tested on:
	a. QEMU: NVME simple copy (TP 4065). By setting nvme-ns
		parameters mssrl,mcl, msrc. For more info [2].
	b. Null block device
        c. NVMe Fabrics loopback.
	d. blktests[3]

	Emulation can be tested on any device.

	fio[4].

Infra and plumbing:
===================
        We populate copy_file_range callback in def_blk_fops. 
        For devices that support copy-offload, use blkdev_copy_offload to
        achieve in-device copy.
        However for cases, where device doesn't support offload,
        use generic_copy_file_range.
        For in-kernel users (like NVMe fabrics), use blkdev_copy_offload
        if device is copy offload capable or else use emulation 
        using blkdev_copy_emulation.
        Modify checks in generic_copy_file_range to support block-device.

Blktests[3]
======================
	tests/block/035-040: Runs copy offload and emulation on null
                              block device.
	tests/block/050,055: Runs copy offload and emulation on test
                              nvme block device.
        tests/nvme/056-067: Create a loop backed fabrics device and
                              run copy offload and emulation.

Future Work
===========
	- loopback device copy offload support
	- upstream fio to use copy offload
	- upstream blktest to test copy offload
        - update man pages for copy_file_range
        - expand in-kernel users of copy offload

	These are to be taken up after this minimal series is agreed upon.
