Now that we have generic_copy_file_range(), remove it as a fallback case when offloads fail. This puts the responsibility for executing fallbacks on the filesystems that implement ->copy_file_range and allows us to add operational validity checks to generic_copy_file_range(). Rework vfs_copy_file_range() to call a new do_copy_file_range() helper to execute the copying callout, and move calls to generic_file_copy_range() into filesystem methods where they currently return failures. [Amir] overlayfs is not responsible of executing the fallback. It is the responsibility of the underlying filesystem.

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.
