I think *pinfo* is not necessary.

I don't get why try to lock here and if fails, acquire the same lock again later but wait until granted.
Can it just acquire the _trimfs_ lock as a blocking one directly here?

In ocfs2_trim_fs_lock_res_uninit(), you drop lock. But it is never granted.
Still need to drop lock resource?

If we faild during dong trimfs, I think we should not cache above info in LVB.
BTW, it seems that this patch is on top of  'try lock' patches which you previously sent out.
Are they related?

Thanks,
