On my system, 100 loops takes 96 seconds with discard and 639 seconds with zeroout. So yes, we should shift this test to use thinp. I was going to say that we should also make _log_writes_init skip the test if the block device has discard_zeroes_data==0, but apparently it's now hardwired to zero and (AFAICT) there's no way to tell if unmap actually zeroes even for software defined devices like thinp where we *know* that works. :( --D
