Subject: Curious about corner case in btrfs code

After reading through the code in inode.c today , I am curious about the comment and the following code I will paste
below. I am curious if this corner case is hit often enough for me to write a patch to improve the speed of this 
corner case. Furthermore , compress_file_range is the function name, in case you can't guess by the pasted code.
Regards Nick

416 	 * cleanup code that can deal with all of this.

419 	 * very uncommon corner.
