There's a request to automatically enable async discard for capable devices. We can do that, the async mode is designed to wait for larger freed extents and is not intrusive, with limits to iops, kbps or latency. The status and tunables will be exported in /sys/fs/btrfs/FSID/discard . The automatic selection is done if there's at least one discard capable device in the filesystem (not capable devices are skipped). Mounting with any other discard option will honor that option, notably mounting with nodiscard will keep it disabled.

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.
