[PATCH 3/3] dm raid/raid1: enable discard support when any devices support discard

From: Paul Wise
Date: Sun Apr 19 2020 - 03:46:37 EST


This will allow fstrim to work on filesystems on dm RAID arrays with
both HDDs and SSDs or dm raid SSD arrays with varying discard support,
which should increase the lifetime of the SSDs that support discard.

This makes dm raid and dm raid1 (mirroring) consistent with md raid,
which supports discard when only some of the devices support discard.

The existing code prevents this from being enabled with RAID 4/5/6,
which require more certainty about the behaviour of underlying devices
after a discard has been issued and processed.

Simply enable discard and return from the configure_discard_support
function when any of the underlying devices has support for discards,
since there are now no other checks in the device check loop.

Mixed discard support for md RAID types was added in these commits:

commit c83057a1f4f9 ("md: raid 0 supports TRIM")
commit 2ff8cc2c6d4e ("md: raid 1 supports TRIM")
commit 532a2a3fba8d ("md: raid 10 supports TRIM")
commit f1cad2b68ed1 ("md: linear supports TRIM")
