Is this an infinite loop if len decreases before the copy completes?
Perhaps this should be: while (len && ret);
Otherwise this set looks good.
I'm a bit worried about the sparse expansion and default reflinking
which might preclude cp(1) from using this call in most cases, but I will
test and try to use it. coreutils has heuristics for determining if files
are remote, which we might use to restrict to that use case.
