copy_range is not a default behavior since 6a30f663d4c0b3c, and it's now available only though x-perf experimantal argument, so it's OK to drop it.
Even when backup is used to copy disk to same filesystem, and filesystem supports zero-copy copy_range, copy_range is probably not what we want for backup: backup has good property of making a copy of active disk, with no impact to active disk itself (unlike creating a snapshot). And if copy_range instead of copying data adds fs-level references, and on next guest write COW operation occurs, it's seems most possible, that new block will be allocated for original vm disk, not for backup disk. Thus, fragmentation of original disk will increase. We can simply add support back on demand. Now we want to publish copy-before-write filter, and instead of thinking how to pass use-copy-range argument to block-copy (create x-block-copy parameter for new public filter driver, or may be set it by hand after filter node creation?), instead of this let's just drop copy-range support in backup for now. After this patch copy-range support in block-copy becomes unused. Let's keep it for a while, it won't hurt: 1. If there would be request for supporting copy_range in backup (and/or in a new public copy-before-write filter), it will be easy to satisfy it. 2. Probably, qemu-img convert will reuse block-copy, and qemu-img has option to enable copy-range. qemu-img convert is not a backup, and copy_range may be more reasonable for some cases in context of qemu-img convert.
