According to the NFSv4.2 spec if the input and output file is the
same file, operation should fail with EINVAL. However, linux
copy_file_range() system call has no such restrictions. Therefore,
in such case let's return EOPNOTSUPP and allow VFS to fallback
to doing do_splice_direct(). Also when copy_file_range is called
on an NFSv4.0 or 4.1 mount (ie., a server that doesn't support
COPY functionality), we also need to return EOPNOTSUPP and
fallback to a regular copy.

Fixes xfstest generic/075, generic/091, generic/112, generic/263
for all NFSv4.x versions.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
