Sorry, I lost track of this.

So what was the conclusion of the thread where discussion about this
problem started?
It wasn't clear to me if a consensus was reached and got lost on that

The test assumed a fix of rounding down the range and deduping less
bytes then requested (which ended up included in 4.19 for btrfs).
