If that's the case, then what is different with the feature posted here? in both cases it's the kernel that issues the TRIM, how would it be safer to trigger that from a userspace program by default rather than triggering that from a kernel-internal timer by default? Why involve userspace in this at all? the kernel executes the actual operation either way, but why bother userspace with this?
