This series makes REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES the only zeroing offload supported by the block layer, and switches existing implementations of REQ_OP_DISCARD that correctly set discard_zeroes_data to it, removes incorrect discard_zeroes_data, and also switches WRITE SAME based zeroing in SCSI to this new method. The series is against the block for-next tree. A git tree is also avaiable at: git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/block.git discard-rework.2 Gitweb: http://git.infradead.org/users/hch/block.git/shortlog/refs/heads/discard-rework.2 Changes since V2: - various spelling fixes - various reviews captured - two new patches from Martin at the end -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
