If backing file's filesystem has implemented ->fallocate(), we think the loop device can support discard, then pass sb->s_blocksize as discard_granularity. However, some underlying FS, such as overlayfs, doesn't set sb->s_blocksize, and causes discard_granularity to be set as zero, then the warning in __blkdev_issue_discard() is triggered. Christoph suggested to pass kstatfs.f_bsize as discard granularity, and this way is fine because kstatfs.f_bsize means 'Optimal transfer block size', which still matches with definition of discard granularity. So fix the issue by setting discard_granularity as kstatfs.f_bsize if it is available, otherwise claims discard isn't supported.

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.
