From: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@...hat.com>
To: ext4 development <linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org>
Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ext4: make trim/discard optional (and off by default)
It is anticipated that when sb_issue_discard starts doing
real work on trim-capable devices, we may see issues. Make
this mount-time optional, and default it to off until we know
that things are working out OK.
(Q: should we call this "discard" instead? What's the more common
term users might expect ... ?)
