[PATCH 06/10] Block discard support

Nitin Gupta
2010-08-09T17:27:19Z

The 'discard' bio discard request provides information to
zram disks regarding blocks which are no longer in use by
filesystem. This allows freeing memory allocated for such
blocks.

When zram devices are used as swap disks, we already have
a callback (block_device_operations->swap_slot_free_notify).
So, the discard support is useful only when used as generic
(non-swap) disk.
