Re: [SMB3][PATCH] fix copy_file_range when copying beyond end of source file

[Steve French <smfrench@gmail.com>]

I noticed that the copy_file_range patches were merged (which is good)
- see below.

Anything else to merge for the changes to cifs.ko that we discussed
earlier.  I wasn't sure about the "SMB3: fix copy file when beyond
size of source" patch - it may be redundant.  I will need to check
with current mainline.  Anything else needed for the enabling of
copy_file_range cross mount etc.

commit 40f06c799539739a08a56be8a096f56aeed05731
