Hi All,

I having a tough time to understand how copy_file_range() is better than
sendfile(), assuming we want to do it within the same mount point.

I see the usage of term "filesystem level optimization", what exactly this?

It will be good if someone can throw some light on it

Thanks,
Sudharsan
