[RFC PATCH v3] ceph: add new obj copy OSD Op

[Luis Henriques <lhenriques@suse.com>]

Hi,

Before going ahead with a pull-request for ceph I would like to make sure
we're all on the same page regarding the final fix for this problem.
Thus, following this email, I'm sending 2 patches: one for ceph OSDs and
the another for the kernel client.

* osd: add new 'copy-from-notrunc' operation
  This patch shall be applied to ceph master after reverting commit
  ba152435fd85 ("osd: add flag to prevent truncate_seq copy in copy-from
  operation").  It adds a new operation that will be exactly the same as
  the original 'copy-from' operation, but with the extra 2 parameters
  (truncate_{seq,size})

* ceph: switch copy_file_range to 'copy-from-notrunc' operation
  This will make the kernel client use the new OSD op in
  copy_file_range.  One extra thing that could probably be added is
  changing the mount options to NOCOPYFROM if the first call to
  ceph_osdc_copy_from() fails.

Does this look good, or did I missed something from the previous
discussion?

(One advantage of this approach: the OSD patch can be easily backported!)

Cheers,
