2011-02-22xfs: check if device support discard in xfs_ioc_trim()Lukas Czerner
Right now we, are relying on the fact that when we attempt to actually do the discard, blkdev_issue_discar() returns -EOPNOTSUPP and the user is informed that the device does not support discard. However, in the case where the we do not hit any suitable free extent to trim in FITRIM code, it will finish without any error. This is very confusing, because it seems that FITRIM was successful even though the device does not actually supports discard. Solution: Check for the discard support before attempt to search for free extents. Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <aelder@sgi.com>
2011-01-11xfs: add FITRIM supportChristoph Hellwig
Allow manual discards from userspace using the FITRIM ioctl. This is not intended to be run during normal workloads, as the freepsace btree walks can cause large performance degradation.
