[ Upstream commit173b6e383d] A user reported FITRIM ioctl failing for him on ext4 on some devices without apparent reason. After some debugging we've found out that these devices (being LVM volumes) report rather large discard granularity of 42MB and the filesystem had 1k blocksize and thus group size of 8MB. Because ext4 FITRIM implementation puts discard granularity into minlen, ext4_trim_fs() declared the trim request as invalid. However just silently doing nothing seems to be a more appropriate reaction to such combination of parameters since user did not specify anything wrong.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
