Subject: Re: [PATCH 4/4] um: Add support for DISCARD in the UBD Driver
Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2018 16:30:28 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181114153028.GB28557@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181113115947.19290-5-anton.ivanov@cambridgegreys.com>

Discards are defined to be hints.  So if your fileystems return
-EOPTNOTSUPP you just stop passing them to the file system and
complete them from ->queue_rq.

Write Zeroes isn't.  So if you really want to support it you
should manually write zeroes to the file as a fallback.  But do you
have a real use case for Write Zeroes to start with?
