Even though block cloning is much faster than regular copying, it is not instantaneous - the file might be large and the recordsize small. It would be nice to be able to interrupt it with a signal (e.g., SIGINFO on FreeBSD to see the progress).
Motivation and Context
Description
How Has This Been Tested?
With those changes I can interrupt cloning large files, which was impossible before.
This allows to only to stop cloning in the middle, but also to track progress with SIGINFO.
