From 4929630901100fdbfa19186ecf5ea2706f57719b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mikulas Patocka Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2012 15:08:03 +0100 Subject: dm thin: split discards on block boundary This patch sets the variable "ti->split_discard_requests" for the dm thin target so that device mapper core splits discard requests on a block boundary. Consequently, a discard request that spans multiple blocks is never sent to dm-thin. The patch also removes some code in process_discard that deals with discards that span multiple blocks.
