Is it because line is more than 80 character, I thought limit is 100 now, so
went with longer lines ?

Yes, looks better. We will update in next version.
One doubt, this arguments ordering is based on size ?
Since we ordered it with logic that, we use nr_srcs to get number of entries
in rlist(ranges).

Yeah you are right, makes sense, will update in next version.

We changed it to normal variable and used a single spin_lock to avoid race
condition on refcount and current process wakeup in completion path.
Since for making copy asynchronous, we needed to store process
context as well. So there was a possibility of race condition.

The present implementation submits only one range at a time. This was done to 
make copy offload generic, so that other types of copy implementation such as
XCOPY should be able to use same infrastructure. Downside at present being
NVMe copy offload is not optimal.

Sure, we can combine blk_copy_sanity_check and blk_check_copy_offload.

We used this as max size for local testing, so as not to hang resources in case
of emulation. Feel free to suggest better values if you have anything in mind !!
