From 2e5dfc99f2e61c42083ba742395e7a7b353513d1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Darrick J. Wong" Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2018 10:41:21 +1100 Subject: vfs: combine the clone and dedupe into a single remap_file_range Combine the clone_file_range and dedupe_file_range operations into a single remap_file_range file operation dispatch since they're fundamentally the same operation. The differences between the two can be made in the prep functions. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
