Subject: Re: [dm-devel] [PATCH v14 02/11] Add infrastructure for copy offload
 in block and request layer.

We had kept this as a part of blk-types.h because we saw some other functions
trying to do similar things inside this file (op_is_write/flush/discard).
But it should be okay for us to move it to blk-mq.h if that’s the right way.

Thank you,
Nitesh Shetty
