What do people think? Should I try to push these two patches to Linus now, to make it easier for other file systems who might be interested in implementing FITRIM functionality? Or should I wait until the 2.6.37-rc1 window? We're at -rc3, so a change like this is a bit late, but so far no one else is using trim_fs besides ext4, and it will make life easier for other file systems, so I'm willing to try pushing this to Linus if there is consensus from other fs developers. - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
