From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Fri, 13 Jan 2017 22:18:16 +0000 (-0700) Subject: block: don't try to discard from __blkdev_issue_zeroout X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bef13315e990fd3d3fb4c39013aefd53f06c3657;p=linux-beck.git block: don't try to discard from __blkdev_issue_zeroout Discard can return -EIO asynchronously if the alignment for the request isn't suitable for the driver, which makes a proper fallback to other methods in __blkdev_issue_zeroout impossible. Thus only issue a sync discard from blkdev_issue_zeroout an don't try discard at all from __blkdev_issue_zeroout as a non-invasive workaround. One more reason why abusing discard for zeroing must die..
