Now that we have generic_copy_file_range(), remove it as a fallback
case when offloads fail. This puts the responsibility for executing
fallbacks on the filesystems that implement ->copy_file_range and
allows us to add operational validity checks to
generic_copy_file_range().

Rework vfs_copy_file_range() to call a new do_copy_file_range()
helper to exceute the copying callout, and move calls to
generic_file_copy_range() into filesystem methods where they
currently return failures.

This is unneeded, because ovl_copyfile(OVL_COPY) is implemented
by calling vfs_copy_file_range() (on the underlying files) and it is
not possible
to get EOPNOTSUPP from vfs_copy_file_range().

Except that it is possible. e.g. If the underlying filesystem tries
a copy offload, gets a "not supported" failure from the remote
server and then doesn't implement a fallback.

I'm in the opinion that ovl_copy_file_range() and do_copy_file_range()
are a like. If you choose not to fallback in the latter to
generic_copy_file_range() for misbehaving filesystem and WARN_ON
this case, there is no reason for overlayfs to cover up for the
misbehaving underlying filesystem.

If you want to cover up for misbehaving filesystem, please do it
in do_copy_file_range() and drop the WARN_ON_ONCE().
Come to think about it, I understand your reasoning for pushing
generic_copy_file_range() down to filesystems so they can fallback to
it in several error conditions.
I do not follow the reasoning of NOT falling back to
generic_copy_file_range() in vfs if EOPNOTSUPP is returned from
filesystem. IOW, if we want to cover up for misbehaving filesystem,
this would have been a more robust code:

+static ssize_t do_copy_file_range(struct file *file_in, loff_t pos_in,
+                           struct file *file_out, loff_t pos_out,
+                           size_t len, unsigned int flags)
+{
+       ssize_t ret;
+
+       if (file_out->f_op->copy_file_range) {
+               ret = file_out->f_op->copy_file_range(file_in, pos_in, file_out,
+                                                     pos_out, len, flags);
+               if (!WARN_ON_ONCE(ret == -EOPNOTSUPP))
+                       return ret;
+       }
+       return generic_copy_file_range(file_in, &pos_in, file_out, &pos_out,
+                                       len, flags);
+}
+

Thanks,
Amir.

Since when have we defined a filesystem returning -EOPNOTSUPP as a
"misbehaving filesystem"? Userspace has to handle errors in
copy_file_range() with it's own fallback copy code (i.e. it cannot
rely on the kernel actually supporting copy_file_range at all).
Hence it's perfectly fine for a filesystem implementation to encode
"offload or fail entirely" semantics if they want.

Yes, I've been shouted at by developers quite recently who
*demanded* that copy_file_range (and other offloads like
fallocate(ZERO_RANGE)) *fail* if they cannot "offload" the operation
to make it "fast". The application developers want to use different
algorithms if the kernel offload isn't any faster than userspace
doing the dumb thing and phsyically pushing bytes around itself.

I've pushed back on this as much as I can, but it doesn't change the
fact that for many situations doing do_splice_direct() is exactly
the wrong thing to do (e.g. because copy_file_range() on a TB+ scale
file couldn't be offloaded by the filesystem because the server said
EOPNOTSUPP)

IOWs, for some filesystems or situations where it makes sense to
have fail-fast semantics and leave the decision of what to do next
in the hands of the userspace application that has the context
necessary to determine what the best action to take is.  And to do
that, we need to give control of the fallback to the filesystems.

Flexibility is what is needed here, not a dumb, hard coded "the VFS
always know what's right for you" policy that triggers when nobody
really wants it to.

Cheers,

Dave.

Since you wrote:

WARN_ON_ONCE(ret == -EOPNOTSUPP);

If filesystem is allowed to return EOPNOTSUPP from ->copy_file_range()
then what is this warning about?

You misunderstood me.
Please remove the fallback to generic_copy_file_range() in
ovl_copy_file_range() as I requested in initial review for the exact
same reasons that you list above.

The overlayfs implementation of ovl_copy_file_range() is just
handing over the call to underlying vfs_copy_file_range().
If the latter is expected to return EOPNOTSUPP, so does the
overlayfs implementation.

Thanks,
Amir.
