My apologies for attachments, but I am attaching the updated Christoph patch,
as well as my hacked-up forward-port of Matthew's patches.
Not pretty, but they work. :)
Now.. running Christoph's "xfs trim" on a 4.6GB mostly already-trimmed
XFS partition gave this for the first time around:
The problem is, it still issues TRIMs to the LLD one extent at a time.
Compare this with doing it all in a single TRIM command
with the wiper.sh script (filesystem unmounted):
I could do a variant which issues a single TRIM, but that would require
us to lock out all other allocations for the time the trim takes. I'll
hack that up once I get some time.
