 cifs.ko with the recent patches, does support IOC_CLONE (ie
BTRFS_IOC_CLONE) but I didn't add BTRFS_CLONE_RANGE which would be easy
enough to add to cifs.ko (although would be a little better, and perhaps
less confusing, if there were a system ioctl definition that was an exact
equivalent of BTRFS_IOC_CLONE and BTRFS_IOC_CLONE_RANGE but didn't use the
name BTRFS, but last I checked the cp command it only knows about
BTRFS_IOC_CLONE so we are stuck using that ioctl number).

If you call CIFS_IOC_COPYCHUNK_FILE ioctl today in cifs.ko (even without
the patches), for SMB3 mounts it will send a FSCTL_SRV_COPYCHUNK_WRITE SMB3
request to the server which Samba will either emulate in user space as a
somewhat faster file copy, or pass directly to btrfs if vfs_btrfs is loaded
and the server will do a BTRFS_IOC_CLONE_RANGE.

With the recent patch to cifs.ko it will be easier since for cifs --reflink
we will only issue DUPLICATE_EXTENTS IOCTL over the wire (which Samba can
convert to BRTFS_IOC_CLONE or BTRFS_IOC_CLONE_RANGE) if the server
advertises the file system support for the corresponding attribute flag.
