So set the intial state as trimmed. Hi, I am sorry, but from the code and comments I have seen, I do not think it does make sense to change that behaviour. I agree that discarding the whole file system after the mount might not be necessarily needed, but on the other hand, you can never assume that the blocks were already trimmed, since it most likely will not be true. I think that the bigger problem is "running fitrim at boot time" which does not make sense to me, because you'll be perfectly fine leaving this up to the cron (or something similar). Also when you're booting you need to be done ASAP so why to bother with other unnecessary operations ? The funniest thing about this patch is (no offense, really) that you've solved the problem of "fitrim slowing down the boot process" by changing kernel logic to assume something which will most likely be false, instead of just *not* doing boot time fitrim at the first place, because this is exactly what will happen with this patch.
