This reverts commit b327ff8a9b.
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.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
