This patch removes support for range parameters of FITRIM ioctl when
trimming unallocated space on devices. This is necessary since ranges
passed from user space are generally interpreted as logical addresses,
whereas btrfs_trim_free_extents used to interpret them as device
physical extents. This could result in counter-intuitive behavior for
users so it's best to remove that support altogether.
Additionally, the existing range support had a bug where if an offset
was passed to FITRIM which overflows u64 e.g. -1 (parsed as u64
18446744073709551615) then wrong data was fed into btrfs_issue_discard,
which in turn leads to wrap-around when aligning the passed range and
results in wrong regions being discarded which leads to data corruption.

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.
