Hi Chao,

The difference here is, if we use f2fs_realtime_discard_enable() in
f2fs_put_super(), we will only write checkpoint w/ CP_TRIMMED flag
when discard option is enable and device supports discard.

But actually, if discard option is disabled, we still needs to give
put_super() a chance to write checkpoint w/ CP_TRIMMED flag.

Why do we still have to set the CP_TRIMMED flag when the discard opt is not set.
Did I miss something?

Hi Yangtao,

I guess it's up to scenario. e.g.

mount w/ nodiscard and use FITRIM to trigger in-batch discard,
if we set CP_TRIMMED flag during umount, next time, after mount
w/ discard, it doesn't to issue redundant discard.

If fitrim was called with a range, we can get a wrong FI_TRIMMED flag. Isn't it

We can set CP_TRIMMED flag only if fitrim was called on full range w/ 4k granularity,
due to it will check sbi->discard_blks variable to make sure there is no range we
haven't trimmed.

better to get a full discard range after remount even though some are redundant?

If nodiscard is set, and sbi->discard_blks becomes zero, it says a full range fitrim
was been triggered.

So, previous check condition has no problem, right?

if ((f2fs_hw_support_discard(sbi) || f2fs_hw_should_discard(sbi)) &&
!sbi->discard_blks && !dropped) {

Thanks,



Thanks,
