[Drbd-dev] [PATCH 13/25] block_dev: use blkdev_issue_zerout for hole punches

Christoph Hellwig hch at lst.de
Fri Mar 31 18:33:01 CEST 2017


This gets us support for non-discard efficient write of zeroes (e.g. NVMe)
and prepare for removing the discard_zeroes_data flag.

Also remove a pointless discard support check, which is done in
blkdev_issue_discard already.
