From 913b86e92e1f68ab9db00ccb0fecf594732511e5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amir Goldstein Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2016 11:38:10 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] vfs: allow vfs_clone_file_range() across mount points FICLONE/FICLONERANGE ioctls return -EXDEV if src and dest files are not on the same mount point. Practically, clone only requires that src and dest files are on the same file system. Move the check for same mount point to ioctl handler and keep only the check for same super block in the vfs helper. A following patch is going to use the vfs_clone_file_range() helper in overlayfs to copy up between lower and upper mount points on the same file system.
