Works here:
$ qemu-system-x86_64 -drive
discard=unmap,file=$HOME/jeos-19-64.qcow2,id=ff,if=none -device
virtio-scsi-pci -device scsi-disk,drive=ff -vnc :0 --enable-kvm
Before test:
$ du -h jeos-19-64.qcow2
1,6G jeos-19-64.qcow2
After "dd if=/dev/zero of=foo bs=1M count=300":
$ du -h jeos-19-64.qcow2
1,8G jeos-19-64.qcow2
After "rm foo; fstrim -v /":
$ du -h jeos-19-64.qcow2
1,4G jeos-19-64.qcow2
I also set a breakpoint on fallocate64, and it was called.
