1. copy_range should be a simple wrapper for copy_file_range(2) and nothing else. and there's already -t option for truncate. so here we remove the truncate action in copy_range. see: https://patchwork.kernel.org/comment/22863587/#1 2. improve the default length value generation: if -l option is omitted use the length that from src_offset to end (src_file's size - src_offset) instead. if src_offset is greater than file size, length is 0. 3. update manpage and have confirmed that this change will not affect xfstests.
