Hi Bart, I think this is moving in the wrong directions for two different reasons: - first we do not split or align bios at the top of the stack since Linux 4.3. Any fine tuning should be fon in blk_bio_discard_split instead. - second a discard does not guarantee data is zeroed, so there is no need to a manual zeroing of unaligned regions for a plain discard. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-block" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
