vfs: rework data cloning infrastructure
Rework the vfs_clone_file_range and vfs_dedupe_file_range infrastructure to use a common .remap_file_range method and supply generic bounds and sanity checking functions that are shared with the data write path. The current VFS infrastructure has problems with rlimit, LFS file sizes, file time stamps, maximum filesystem file sizes, stripping setuid bits, etc and so they are addressed in these commits. We also introduce the ability for the ->remap_file_range methods to return short clones so that clones for vfs_copy_file_range() don't get rejected if the entire range can't be cloned. It also allows filesystems to sliently skip deduplication of partial EOF blocks if they are not capable of doing so without requiring errors to be thrown to userspace. All existing filesystems are converted to user the new .remap_file_range method, and both XFS and ocfs2 are modified to make use of the new generic checking infrastructure. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQIcBAABAgAGBQJb29gEAAoJEK3oKUf0dfodpOAQAL2VbHjvKXEwNMDTKscSRMmZ Z0xXo3gamFKQ+VGOqy2g2lmAYQs9SAnTuCGTJ7zIAp7u+q8gzUy5FzKAwLS4Id6L 8siaY6nzlicfO04d0MdXnWz0f3xykChgzfdQfVUlUi7WrDioBUECLPmx4a+USsp1 DQGjLOZfoOAmn2rijdnH9RTEaHqg+8mcTaLN9TRav4gGqrWxldFKXw2y6ouFC7uo /hxTRNXR9VI+EdbDelwBNXl9nU9gQA0WLOvRKwgUrtv6bSJohTPsmXt7EbBtNcVR cl3zDNc1sLD1bLaRLEUAszI/33wXaaQgom1iB51obIcHHef+JxRNG/j6rUMfzxZI VaauGv5EIvtaKN0LTAqVVLQ8t2MQFYfOr8TykmO+1UFog204aKRANdVMHDSjxD/0 dTGKJGcq+HnKQ+JHDbTdvuXEL8sUUl1FiLjOQbZPw63XmuddLKFUA2TOjXn6htbU 1h1MG5d9KjGLpabp2BQheczD08NuSmcrOBNt7IoeI3+nxr3HpMwprfB9TyaERy9X iEgyVXmjjc9bLLRW7A2wm77aW64NvPs51wKMnvuNgNwnCewrGS6cB8WVj2zbQjH1 h3f3nku44s9ctNPSBzb/sJLnpqmZQ5t0oSmrMSN+5+En6rNTacoJCzxHRJBA7z/h Z+C6y1GTZw0euY6Zjiwu =CE/A -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
