During long-term aging test or normal use, sometimes there will be performance
degradation problems. It may be caused by storage, or it may be caused by the
filesystem. For example, the filesystem accumulates a large number of undiscard
 blocks. Although there is some remaining space, the androidbench test will
show performance degradation. Therefore, it is necessary to export information
related to discard so that we can confirm this situation.
