I'm confused by your previous reply that the use of curr_state should
be eliminated, isn't this ioctl only valid while the device is in the
PRE_COPY or PRE_COPY_P2P states?  Otherwise the STOP_COPY state would
have some expectation to be able to use this ioctl for devices
supporting PRE_COPY.  I'd like to see the uapi clarify exactly what
states allow this ioctl and define the behavior of the ioctl when
transitioning out of those states with an open data_fd, ie. is it
defined to return an -errno once in STOP_COPY?  Thanks,

Alex
