Our current Trim payload is a single sector that can accommodate 64 *
65535 blocks being unmapped.  Report this value in the Block Limits
Maximum Unmap LBA count field.

If a storage device supports Trim and the DRAT and RZAT bits are set,
report TPRZ=1 in Read Capacity(16).

My reading of SPC is that the max unmap size only makes sense for
devices supporting UNMAP, while the SATL for now only supports WRITE
SAME with the unmap bit.

Looks good.

I was trying to help Eric figure out why his drive pooped on big Trim
requests.  For WRITE SAME the limit is inherent in the arguments,
whereas our SATL implementation is limited by the 512-byte WRITE SAME
payload.  So I needed a way to convey this up the stack.

Since you already return a B0 VPD page I thought it would be a
convenient place to communicate the max without having to tweak the
queue limits directly from within libata.

You are right that I'm relying on fuzziness in SBC which requires both
the max LBA count and the descriptor count to be specified for UNMAP.

So what I can do is this:

                if (lba_count) {
                        q->limits.max_discard_sectors =
                                lba_count * sector_sz >> 9;

                        if (desc_count)
                                sdkp->unmap = 1;
                }

That way we don't impose limits on "normal" WRITE SAME devices.

I think the better way is to make sure we can support any TRIM that
can be sent down.  Given that TRIM is not NCQ-capable we can just
allocate one buffer for the TRIM ranges per TRIM capable device.

..

Good approach.

I suppose that buffer would be only 512 bytes long, per device?
That might be a bit restrictive, as TRIM can handle much larger
requests, and some drives (Indinlinx-based at least) prefer large
TRIM lists at present.

On the other hand, the Marvell chipsets cannot handle more than a
single sector of data without first fixing the driver to work around
chipset bugs.  That's probably unique to sata_mv, though.

Cheers

Allocating a buffer per device would allow it to be much larger.
