I wonder if you have actually seen this kernel panic happening. It seems
like the code you're moving into fuse_copy_file_range() shouldn't be
needed as the same check is already done in generic_copy_file_checks()
(which is called from vfs_copy_file_range()).
Either way, I think your change to fuse_copy_file_range() could be
simplified with something like:
ssize_t ret = -EXDEV;
if (file_inode(src_file)->i_sb == file_inode(dst_file)->i_sb)
ret = __fuse_copy_file_range(src_file, src_off, dst_file, dst_off,
len, flags);
if (ret == -EOPNOTSUPP || ret == -EXDEV)
ret = splice_copy_file_range(src_file, src_off, dst_file,
dst_off, len);
But again, my understanding is that this should never happen in practice
and that the superblock check could even be removed from
__fuse_copy_file_range().
Cheers,
