Re: Dataloss copying file using copy-file on RHEL 8.

[David Koppelman]

Red Hat has verified the copy_file_range flaw, so it's not a quirk
unique to my system. They reproduced the flaw, using Paul Eggert's
reproducer with futimens added, on kernel 4.18.0-80.11.2.el8_0.x86_64
and I'm suffering it on 4.18.0-147.3.1.el8_1.x86_64. The copy ran
correctly on 5.6.0-0.rc0.git5.1.fc32.x86_64.

I've asked twice that the bug,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1803162, be made publicly
accessible.
