Async discard will use the free space cache as backing knowledge for which extents to discard. This patch plumbs knowledge about which extents need to be discarded into the free space cache from unpin_extent_range(). An untrimmed extent can merge with everything as this is a new region. Absorbing trimmed extents is a tradeoff to for greater coalescing which makes life better for find_free_extent(). Additionally, it seems the size of a trim isn't as problematic as the trim io itself. When reading in the free space cache from disk, if sync is set, mark all extents as trimmed. The current code ensures at transaction commit that all free space is trimmed when sync is set, so this reflects that.

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.
