From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@oracle.com>

Combine the clone_file_range and dedupe_file_range operations into a
single remap_file_range file operation dispatch since they're
fundamentally the same operation.  The differences between the two can
be made in the prep functions.

None of the other methods in this file name their parameters.  While
I generally don't like people leaving them out, in the end consistency
is even more important.

So at least for btrfs there seems to be no shared code at all below
the function calls.  This kinda speaks against the argument that
they fundamentally are the same..

RFR?  Why not REMAP_FILE_*  Also why not the well understood
REMAP_FILE_DEDUP instead of the odd SAME_DATA?

Any reason to even bother with a helper for this?  ->fallocate
seems to be doing fine without the helper, and the resulting code
seems a lot easier to understand to me.

Same comment here.  Didn't we have some nice doc tools to avoid this
duplication? :)

I don't think this model makes sense.  If they really are purely
handled in the VFS we can mask them before passing them to the file
system, if not we need to check them, or the they are avisory and
we can have a simple #define instead of the helper.

RFR_TO_SRC_EOF is checked in generic_remap_file_range_prep,
so the file system should know about it  Also looking at it again now
it seems entirely superflous - we can just pass down then len == we
use in higher level code instead of having a flag and will side step
the issue here.

RFR_CAN_SHORTEN is advisory as no one has to shorten, but that can
easily be solved by including it everywhere.

RFR_SHORT_DEDUPE is as far as I can tell entirely superflous to
start with, as RFR_CAN_SHORTEN can be used instead.

So something like this in fs.h:

#define REMAP_FILE_ADVISORY_FLAGS	REMAP_FILE_CAN_SHORTEN

And then in the file system:

	if (flags & ~REMAP_FILE_ADVISORY_FLAGS)
		-EINVAL;

or

	if (flags & ~(REMAP_FILE_ADVISORY_FLAGS | REMAP_FILE_DEDUP))
		-EINVAL;

should be all that is needed.

They /do/ share/ code -- eventually both btrfs_extent_same and
btrfs_clone_files call btrfs_clone.  xfs and ocfs2 call the same paths
internally too; it's only the vfs helpers that have the extra page cache
comparisons if it's a dedup operation.

Sure.  I had begin to dislike typing RFR anyway.

(Will respond to these at the current end of the flags thread.)

We do, but vfs.txt hasn't been ported to any of that.

I'm not a fan of hidden behaviors like that, particularly when we
already have a flags field where callers can explicitly ask for the
to-eof behavior.

CAN_SHORTEN isn't included everywhere -- FICLONE{,RANGE} don't enable it
because they have no way to communicate the number of bytes cloned back
to userspace.  Either we can clone every byte the user asked for, or we
send back -EINVAL.  (Maybe I'm misinterpreting what you meant by 'solved
by including it everywhere'?)

For now it's superfluous.  At first I was thinking that we could return
a short bytes_deduped if, say, the first part of the range actually did
match, but it became pretty obvious via shared/010 that duperemove can't
handle that, so we really must stick to the existing btrfs behavior.

The existing btrfs behavior is that we can round the length down to
avoid deduping partial EOF blocks, but we return the original length
(i.e. lie) in bytes_deduped when we do that.

I sort of thought about introducing a new copy_file_range flag that
would just do deduplication and allow for opportunistic "dedup as much
as you can" but ... meh.  Maybe I'll just drop the patch instead; we can
revisit that when anyone wants a better dedupe interface.

This just means we have a flag to mean ken is 0 and needs to be filled,
rather than encoding that in the field itself.  If you fell better we
can replace 0 with 0xffffffff and still encode it in the field.

Include it everywhere as in allow it in ever ->remap_file instance.

Sounds fine to me.  The btrfs ioctl is really ugly, but then again
there is no pressing need for something better.
