Yes, this is the different.The NFS code handles both -EOPNOTSUPP and
-EXDEVV by doing generic_copy_file_range. Do any other consumers of
vfs_copy_file_range rely on -EXDEV and not -EOPNOTSUPP and which is
the correct error code for this case? It seems to me that -EOPNOTSUPP
is more appropriate than EXDEV when (sb1 != sb2).

You're not alone, we all try to do the right thing :-)
