As mentioned earlier, discarding data can be done either by issuing an explicit discard or implicitly by reusing the LBA. Metadata block_groups see much more frequent reuse due to well it being metadata. So instead of explicitly discarding metadata block_groups, just leave them be and let the latter implicit discarding be done for them. For mixed block_groups, block_groups which contain both metadata and data, we let them be as higher fragmentation is expected.

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.
