    btrfs: Optimize unallocated chunks discard · 8811133d
    Nikolay Borisov authored
    Currently unallocated chunks are always trimmed. For example
    2 consecutive trims on large storage would trim freespace twice
    irrespective of whether the space was actually allocated or not between
    those trims.
    
    Optimise this behavior by exploiting the newly introduced alloc_state
    tree of btrfs_device. A new CHUNK_TRIMMED bit is used to mark
    those unallocated chunks which have been trimmed and have not been
    allocated afterwards. On chunk allocation the respective underlying devices'
    physical space will have its CHUNK_TRIMMED flag cleared. This avoids
    submitting discards for space which hasn't been changed since the last
    time discard was issued.
    
    This applies to the single mount period of the filesystem as the
    information is not stored permanently.
