Files that have the EXT4_SECRM_FL attribute flag on will have their blocks zerod when they are released. The EXT4_SECRM_FL attribute flag can be enabled useing chattr +s Signed-off-by: Allison Henderson<achender@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- v1->v2 Removed check for discard mount option and replaced with check for secure discard and discard_zeroes_data Added BLKDEV_DISCARD_SECURE to the sb_issue_discard call v2->v3 Removed code for discard.
