From: Nitesh Shetty <nj.shetty@samsung.com>

For direct block device opened with O_DIRECT, use copy_file_range to
issue device copy offload, and fallback to generic_copy_file_range incase
device copy offload capability is absent.
Modify checks to allow bdevs to use copy_file_range.

Why initialize to -EINVAL if blk_copy_sanity_check() initializes it
right away anyway?

Same thing with initializing offload.

I'm not deeply familiar with this code but this looks odd. It at least
seems possible that comp_len could be -EINVAL and len 20 at which point
you'd be doing len - comp_len aka 20 - 22 = -2 in generic_copy_file_range().

comp_len should be 0 incase of error. We do agree, some function
description needs to be updated. We will recheck this completion path to
make sure not to return negative value, incase of failure.

20 - -22 = 44 ofc

I mean, not to hammer on this point too much but just to be clear
blk_copy_sanity_check(), which is introduced in the second patch, can
return both -EPERM and -EINVAL and is first called in
blkdev_copy_offload() so it's definitely possible for comp_len to be
negative.

Acked. Will be updated in the next version.
