Use vfs_copy_file_range() helper instead of calling do_splice_direct()
when copying up file data.
When copying up within the same fs, which supports copy_file_range(),
fs implementation can be more efficient then do_splice_direct().
vfs_copy_file_range() helper falls back to do_splice_direct() if
it cannot use the file system's copy_file_range() implementation.

A previous change added a vfs_clone_file_range() call before
the data copy loop, so this change is only effective for filesystems
that support copy_file_range() and *do not* support clone_file_range().
At the moment, there are no such filesystems in the kernel that
can be used as overlayfs upper, so I tested this change by disabling
the vfs_clone_file_range() call.

Tested correct behavior when lower and upper are on:
1. same ext4 (copy)
2. same xfs + reflink patches + mkfs.xfs (copy)
3. same xfs + reflink patches + mkfs.xfs -m reflink=1 (reflink)
4. different xfs + reflink patches + mkfs.xfs -m reflink=1 (copy)

For comparison, on my laptop, xfstest overlay/001 (copy up of large
sparse files) takes less than 1 second in the xfs reflink setup vs.
25 seconds on the rest of the setups.

Guys, I just hit a lockdep warning on nesting an mnt_want_write() with
this patch
because overlay already holds the write lock when getting to ovl_copy_up_data()
I don't know how I missed it before.

Is it really a problem to nest this lock?
Should I factor our another set of _locked helpers from the
vfs_{copy,clone}_file_range helpers?

vfs_{copy,clone}_file_range should call sb_start_write() instead of
mnt_want_write_file(), the checks against FMODE_WRITE + S_ISREG ensure
that the __mnt_want_write() part is already held on the file.

That still leaves the lockdep warning.  We could do
__vfs_{copy,clone}_file_range() variants without the
sb_start_write()/sb_end_write() and add the non-underscore variants as
static inline to fs.h that do call the sb_start/end_write.

Thanks,
Miklos

Wait a minute, I think you got the solution but mixed it up a bit.
IIUC, vfs_{clone,copy} should call __mnt_want_write_file()
instead of mnt_want_write_file(), which will skip sb_start_write()
because file is already open for write and no lockdep warning
and no problem.

Am I missing something?

Ah.. I got it. Anyway a short survey of fs/namei.c
shows that the custom is to have mnt_want_write() in either the syscall
or the do_XXX helper and not in the vfs_XXX helper,
so I will conform to this standard.
