I used two fields instead of one namely cow_pos and cow_addr which defined the source details. I had put it as a iomap flag as opposed to a type which of course did not appeal well. We may want to use iomaps for cases where two inodes are involved. An example of the other scenario where offset may be different is file comparison for dedup: vfs_dedup_file_range_compare(). However, it would need two inodes in iomap as well. > > My RFC patchset[1] is implemented in this way and works for me, though it is > far away from perfectness. > > [1]: https://patchwork.kernel.org/cover/10904307/ > -- Goldwyn
