Upon receiving a request for async copy, create a new kthread. If we get asynchronous request, make sure to copy the needed arguments/state from the stack before starting the copy. Then start the thread and reply back to the client indicating copy is asynchronous. nfsd_copy_file_range() will copy in a loop over the total number of bytes is needed to copy. In case a failure happens in the middle, we ignore the error and return how much we copied so far. Once done creating a workitem for the callback workqueue and send CB_OFFLOAD with the results. The lifetime of the copy stateid is bound to the vfs copy. This way we don't need to keep the nfsd_net structure for the callback. We could keep it around longer so that an OFFLOAD_STATUS that came late would still get results, but clients should be able to deal without that. We handle OFFLOAD_CANCEL by sending a signal to the copy thread and calling kthread_stop. A client should cancel any ongoing copies before calling DESTROY_CLIENT; if not, we return a CLIENT_BUSY error. If the client is destroyed for some other reason (lease expiration, or server shutdown), we must clean up any ongoing copies ourselves.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
