Server.

Ensure clone range request sizes are integer
divisible by 4096.
If the btrfs clone range request fails smbd
will fall back to copychunk copies.
Debug level 5 has:
/*
* BTRFS_IOC_CLONE_RANGE only supports 'sectorsize' aligned
* cloning. Which is 4096 by default, therefore fall back to
* manual read/write on failure.
*/
DEBUG(5, ("BTRFS_IOC_CLONE_RANGE failed: %s, length %llu, "
"src fd: %lld off: %llu, dest fd: %d off: %llu\n",
strerror(errno),
(unsigned long long)cr_args.src_length,
(long long)cr_args.src_fd,
(unsigned long long)cr_args.src_offset,
dest_fsp->fh->fd,
(unsigned long long)cr_args.dest_offset));
if you see any of these then it happened.
