Are we really interested in multihoming and probably some very edge cases?
I'd argue we're not and it should be a single bool hint indicating whether
zc is viable or not. It can do more complex calculations _if_ needed, e.g.
looking inside skb's and figure out how many bytes were copied but as for me
it should better be turned into a single bool in the end. Could also be the
number of bytes copied, but I don't think we can't have the accuracy for
that (e.g. what we're going to return if some protocol duplicates an skb
and sends to 2 different devices or is processing it in a pipeline?)

So the question is what is the use case for having 2 flags?

btw, now we've got another example why the report flag is a good idea,
we can't use cqe.res unconditionally because we want to have a "one CQE
per request" mode, but it's fine if we make it and the report flag
mutually exclusive.

Keeping in mind potential backporting let's make it as simple and
short as possible first and then do optimisations on top.

Let's remove this hunk with inlining and do it later

This one as well.

Just shove all that into __io_notif_complete_tw().

It's fine but racy, so let's WRITE_ONCE() to indicate it.

And it's better to kill this argument and init zc_used/copied
unconditionally.

IIRC io_notif_data is fully packed in 6.1, so placing zc_{used,copied}
there might complicate backporting (if any). We can place them in io_kiocb
directly and move in 6.2. Alternatively account_pages doesn't have to be
long.
