commit 10bc8e4af65946b727728d7479c028742321b60a upstream.

[backport comments for pre v5.15:
- ksmbd mentions are irrelevant - ksmbd hunks were dropped
- sb_write_started() is missing - assert was dropped
]

Commit 868f9f2f8e00 ("vfs: fix copy_file_range() regression in cross-fs
copies") removed fallback to generic_copy_file_range() for cross-fs
cases inside vfs_copy_file_range().

To preserve behavior of nfsd and ksmbd server-side-copy, the fallback to
generic_copy_file_range() was added in nfsd and ksmbd code, but that
call is missing sb_start_write(), fsnotify hooks and more.

Ideally, nfsd and ksmbd would pass a flag to vfs_copy_file_range() that
will take care of the fallback, but that code would be subtle and we got
vfs_copy_file_range() logic wrong too many times already.

Instead, add a flag to explicitly request vfs_copy_file_range() to
perform only generic_copy_file_range() and let nfsd and ksmbd use this
flag only in the fallback path.

This choise keeps the logic changes to minimum in the non-nfsd/ksmbd code
paths to reduce the risk of further regressions.

commit 868f9f2f8e004bfe0d3935b1976f625b2924893b upstream.

[backport comments for pre v5.15:
- This commit has a bug fixed by commit 10bc8e4af659 ("vfs: fix
  copy_file_range() averts filesystem freeze protection")
- ksmbd mentions are irrelevant - ksmbd hunks were dropped
]

A regression has been reported by Nicolas Boichat, found while using the
copy_file_range syscall to copy a tracefs file.

Before commit 5dae222a5ff0 ("vfs: allow copy_file_range to copy across
devices") the kernel would return -EXDEV to userspace when trying to
copy a file across different filesystems.  After this commit, the
syscall doesn't fail anymore and instead returns zero (zero bytes
copied), as this file's content is generated on-the-fly and thus reports
a size of zero.

Another regression has been reported by He Zhe - the assertion of
WARN_ON_ONCE(ret == -EOPNOTSUPP) can be triggered from userspace when
copying from a sysfs file whose read operation may return -EOPNOTSUPP.

Since we do not have test coverage for copy_file_range() between any two
types of filesystems, the best way to avoid these sort of issues in the
future is for the kernel to be more picky about filesystems that are
allowed to do copy_file_range().

This patch restores some cross-filesystem copy restrictions that existed
prior to commit 5dae222a5ff0 ("vfs: allow copy_file_range to copy across
devices"), namely, cross-sb copy is not allowed for filesystems that do
not implement -&gt;copy_file_range().

Filesystems that do implement -&gt;copy_file_range() have full control of
the result - if this method returns an error, the error is returned to
the user.  Before this change this was only true for fs that did not
implement the -&gt;remap_file_range() operation (i.e.  nfsv3).

Filesystems that do not implement -&gt;copy_file_range() still fall-back to
the generic_copy_file_range() implementation when the copy is within the
same sb.  This helps the kernel can maintain a more consistent story
about which filesystems support copy_file_range().

nfsd and ksmbd servers are modified to fall-back to the
generic_copy_file_range() implementation in case vfs_copy_file_range()
fails with -EOPNOTSUPP or -EXDEV, which preserves behavior of
server-side-copy.

fall-back to generic_copy_file_range() is not implemented for the smb
operation FSCTL_DUPLICATE_EXTENTS_TO_FILE, which is arguably a correct
change of behavior.

Complete the migration by moving the file remapping helper functions out
of read_write.c and into remap_range.c.  This reduces the clutter in the
first file and (eventually) will make it so that we can compile out the
second file if it isn't needed.
