From: Mike Snitzer Date: Thu, 12 Aug 2010 03:14:32 +0000 (+0100) Subject: dm mpath: support discard X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=959eb4e5592cc0b0b07db0ca30d2b1efd790020f;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git dm mpath: support discard Enable discard support in the DM multipath target. This discard support depends on a few discard-specific fixes to the block layer's request stacking driver methods. Discard requests are optional so don't allow a failed discard to trigger path failures. If there is a real problem with a given path the barriers associated with the discard (either before or after the discard) will cause path failure. That said, unconditionally passing discard failures up the stack is not ideal. This must be fixed once DM has more information about the nature of the underlying storage failure.
