Subject: copy offload (copy_file_range) and sendfile()
Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2016 15:19:36 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAP0SO-GS_N_1AzEVhA7TZVe82taL+NtPf3dm209aAu-uorr-cw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi All,

I having a tough time to understand how copy_file_range() is better than
sendfile(), assuming we want to do it within the same mount point.

I see the usage of term "filesystem level optimization", what exactly this?

It will be good if someone can throw some light on it

Thanks,
Sudharsan
