Thank you for your review.

For the copy_file_range input file, since it only involves read operations,
I think it is not necessary to flush to LLONG_MAX. Therefore, for the input file, 
flushing to the end is sufficient.

If you think my understanding is correct, I can resend a revised version of
the patch to update the commit log and include a clear explanation regarding
the behavior changes in 'fuse_copy_file_range' and 'fuse_file_fallocate' operations.

Thanks
