Very roughly, yes.

Yes.

Where offset is offset in the file? It would not require it. You
probably want to do it for optimal performance, but requiring it
feeels rather limited.

And I think that's where we have different opinions. I think the hw
offload is a nice optimization and we should use it wherever we can.
But building the entire userspace API around it feels like a mistake.

Upstream doesn't have out of place write support for the RT subvolume
yet. But Darrick has a series for it and we're actively working on
upstreaming it.
