Revert "btrfs: Honour FITRIM range constraints during free space trim"
This reverts commit 038ec2c1. There is currently no corresponding patch in master due to additional changes that would be significantly different from plain revert in the respective stable branch. The range argument was not handled correctly and could cause trim to overlap allocated areas or reach beyond the end of the device. The address space that fitrim normally operates on is in logical coordinates, while the discards are done on the physical device extents. This distinction cannot be made with the current ioctl interface and caused the confusion. The bug depends on the layout of block groups and does not always happen. The whole-fs trim (run by default by the fstrim tool) is not affected. Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
