Hi,
thin-pool is using LVs  - so this is again about handling the discard
on a _tdata LV and it is completely unrelated to issue_discards
setting.

from lvmthin(7):
"passdown: Process discards in the thin pool (as with nopassdown), and
pass the discards down the the underlying device.  This is the default
mode."

It's the "underlying device" that's confusing me.

All it means is -  _tdata LV is placed on some PV/device.

So the passdown means - TRIM goes through thinLV to thin-pool and then through
its _tdata LV it lands on 'underlying device' aka PV used for this LV.

If there is better and less confusing way how to describe this case,
feel free to submit better wording.
