Gang He 637dd20c49 ocfs2: add trimfs lock to avoid duplicated trims in cluster
ocfs2 supports trimming the underlying disk via the fstrim command.  But
there is a problem, ocfs2 is a shared disk cluster file system, if the
user configures a scheduled fstrim job on each file system node, this
will trigger multiple nodes trimming a shared disk simultaneously, which
is very wasteful for CPU and IO consumption.  This also might negatively
affect the lifetime of poor-quality SSD devices.

So we introduce a trimfs dlm lock to communicate with each other in this
case, which will make only one fstrim command to do the trimming on a
shared disk among the cluster.  The fstrim commands from the other nodes
should wait for the first fstrim to finish and return success directly,
to avoid running the same trim on the shared disk again.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
