In Linux, block devices currently lack support for `copy_file_range` API because the kernel does not provide the necessary functionality. However, there is an ongoing upstream effort to address this limitation: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/dm-devel/cover/[email protected]/. We have adopted this upstream kernel patch into the TrueNAS kernel and made some additional modifications to enable block cloning specifically for the zvol block device. This patch implements the platform- independent portions of these changes for inclusion in OpenZFS. This patch does not introduce any new functionality directly into OpenZFS. The `TX_CLONE_RANGE` replay capability is only relevant when zvols are migrated to non-TrueNAS systems that support Clone Range replay in the ZIL. Signed-off-by: Ameer Hamza <[email protected]>

Motivation and Context
In Linux, block devices currently lack support for
copy_file_rangeAPI because the kernel does not provide thenecessary functionality. However, there is an ongoing upstream effort to address this limitation: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/dm-devel/cover/[email protected]/.
We have adopted this upstream kernel patch into the TrueNAS kernel and made some additional modifications to enable block cloning specifically for the zvol block device. This patch implements the platform- independent portions of these changes for inclusion in OpenZFS. This patch does not introduce any new functionality directly into OpenZFS.
The
TX_CLONE_RANGEreplay capability is only relevant when zvols are migrated to non-TrueNAS systems that support Clone Range replay in the ZIL. Complete support in ZFS, Linux kernel, and SCST can be found in the respective links for curious readers.Description
