Hi,
Fedora 34 user 'adrum' reports that 'cp --reflink=never' is performing
a lightweight copy on Btrfs. And filefrag -v shows the extents are
shared. Strace shows use of copy_file_range even with --reflink=never
The note for copy_file_range() includes:
copy_file_range() gives filesystems an opportunity to implement
"copy acceleration" techniques, such as the use of reflinks

The commit that causes the change in behavior:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/coreutils/c/1737e5c81fa82451b510f982499bdedb2a1619d1?branch=rawhide
It references five upstream commits.
