I don't disagree with any of the above, just want to point out that TRIM has a SCSI T10 cousin that is very similar (used to implement thinly provisioned luns). We should make sure as much as possible to make our file system level support work for both...


That's shouldn't be a problem.  David Woodhouse created a standard
block device interface that should be suitable both for ATA and SCSI:

    int blkdev_issue_discard(struct block_device *bdev, sector_t sector,
		         unsigned nr_sects, bio_end_io_t end_io);

I know, just wanted to point out to the broader audience that it is not just trim ;-)
