Hi all,

This patch set goes along with the fourth revision of an RFC adding to
XFS kernel support for tracking reverse-mappings of physical blocks to
file and metadata; and support for mapping multiple file logical
blocks to the same physical block, more commonly known as reflinking.

The first four patches are taken verbatim from Anna Schumaker's
patches adding a physical copy call to the kernel.  The next two
patches are from Christoph Hellwig, and hoist the clone and
clone_range ioctls into the VFS.  These patches are a bit old at
this point; they're in here solely to demonstrate how this (long)
patchset diverges from upstream.

The third patch fixes some bugs in the first four patches, and the
fourth patch hoists the extent_same ioctl into the VFS as the dedupe
ioctl.

The patch set is based on the current (4.4-rc5) upstream kernel.

If you're going to start using this mess, you probably ought to just
pull from my github trees for kernel[1], xfsprogs[2], and xfstests[3].
See also the xfs-docs[4] and manpage[5] updates.

This is an extraordinary way to eat your data.  Enjoy!

Comments and questions are, as always, welcome.
