Are you perhaps referring to the following patch series: "Copy Offload"
(https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg74680.html /
https://lwn.net/Articles/592094/)? I will contact Martin off-list and in
case he wouldn't have the time myself to revive that patch series then I
will free up some time to work on this.
