Hello.
I'm investigating the opportunity to run secure erase (trim) and secure file deletion on eMMC flash cards for embedded systems.
For systems without device-mapper layer (lvm in my case) it works properly but I have one lvm volume at one of my SoC.
So it cannot work well because file-system's layer does not determine underlying request queue as queue that is available to
execute these commands due to special flags (because given queue does not belong to driver for real eMMC, it's dm).
Well I've written a patch which allows to determine that all devices in target support SECDISCARD.
Could you please share your opinion for this patch. Thanks in advance.
NOTE! This patch is developed for kernel version 3.10.49. :(
I understand that it's quite old version but currently I cannot upgrade it due to ODM agreements.
