[PATCH 4/7] block: Introduce a new ioctl for simple copy

From: Nitesh Shetty <nj.shetty@samsung.com>

Add new BLKCOPY ioctl that offloads copying of one or more sources ranges
to a destination in the device. COPY ioctl accepts a 'copy_range'
structure that contains destination (in sectors), no of sources and
pointer to the array of source ranges. Each source range is represented by
'range_entry' that contains start and length of source ranges (in sectors)

MAX_COPY_NR_RANGE, limits the number of entries for the IOCTL and
MAX_COPY_TOTAL_LENGTH limits the total copy length, IOCTL can handle.

Example code, to issue BLKCOPY:
/* Sample example to copy three source-ranges [0, 8] [16, 8] [32,8] to
* [64,24], on the same device */

int main(void)
{
int ret, fd;
struct range_entry source_range[] = {{.src = 0, .len = 8},
{.src = 16, .len = 8}, {.src = 32, .len = 8},};
struct copy_range cr;

cr.dest = 64;
cr.nr_range = 3;
cr.range_list = (__u64)&source_range;

fd = open("/dev/nvme0n1", O_RDWR);
if (fd < 0) return 1;

ret = ioctl(fd, BLKCOPY, &cr);
if (ret < 0) printf("copy failure\n");

close(fd);

return ret;
}
