This feature was of interest to CIFS as well as NFS. This feature is needed by NFSv4.2 to perform file copy operation on the same server or file copy between different NFSv4.2 servers. If a file system's fileoperations copy_file_range operation prohibits cross-device copies, fall back to do_splice_direct. This would be needed for the NFS (destination) server side implementation of the file copy and currently for CIFS. Besides NFS, there is only 1 implementor of the copy_file_range FS operation -- CIFS. CIFS assumes incoming file descriptors are both CIFS but it will check if they are coming from different servers and return error code to fall back to do_splice_direct. NFS will allow for copies between different NFS servers. Adding to the vfs.txt documentation to explicitly warn about allowing for different superblocks of the same file type to be passed into the copy_file_range for the future users of copy_file_range method.
