Hi.
For cloned image, it will avoid doing copyup if the request size is
equal to the object size, I think that it is the key effect of this
patch.
The big request would result in overtime if the ceph backend is busy
or the network bandwidth is too low.
I suggest that add a module parameter to control the value which
decided by the user settings.

Thanks.
