+Description:
|
|
|
|
+ Devices that support discard functionality may have
|
|
|
|
+ internal limits on the number of bytes that can be
|
|
|
|
+ trimmed or unmapped in a single operation. Some storage
|
|
|
|
+ protocols also have inherent limits on the number of
|
|
|
|
+ blocks that can be described in a single command. The
|
|
|
|
+ discard_max_bytes parameter is set by the device driver
|
|
|
|
+ to the maximum number of bytes that can be discarded in
|
|
|
|
+ a single operation. Discard requests issued to the
|
|
|
|
+ device must not exceed this limit. A discard_max_bytes
|
|
|
|
+ value of 0 means that the device does not support
|
|
|
|
+ discard functionality.

|
|
|
|
+ Devices that support discard functionality may return
|
|
|
|
+ stale or random data when a previously discarded block
|
|
|
|
+ is read back. This can cause problems if the filesystem
|
|
|
|
+ expects discarded blocks to be explicitly cleared. If a
|
|
|
|
+ device reports that it deterministically returns zeroes
|
|
|
|
+ when a discarded area is read the discard_zeroes_data
|
|
|
|
+ parameter will be set to one. Otherwise it will be 0 and
|
|
|
|
