Subject: [PATCH] libext2fs: revert "try to always use PUNCH_HOLE for unix_discard"
Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2019 15:37:08 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190114233708.GA20465@magnolia> (raw)
From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@oracle.com>
Revert bcca9876a3428c10417c660b78933e6e70e8a5f5, because
fallocate(PUNCH_HOLE) on block devices was changed to use zeroout
instead of discard shortly after block device fallocate was merged.
zeroout isn't necessarily a "drop storage" operation like discard is,
so we prefer to use that on block devices.
