From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@xxxxxxxxxx> The ext4 fstrim implementation uses the block bitmaps to find free space that can be discarded. If we haven't replayed the journal, the bitmaps will be stale and we absolutely *cannot* use stale metadata to zap the underlying storage. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
