Subject: [PATCH] ext4: stop issuing discards if not supported by device
Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:54:03 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B97CEAB.1040004@redhat.com> (raw)

Turn off issuance of discard requests if the device does
not support it - similar to the action we take for barriers.
This will save a little computation time if a non-discardable
device is mounted with -o discard, and also makes it obvious
that it's not doing what was asked at mount time ...
