I was looking same thing when doing new ioctl for shutdown. These
should be dropped completly before this gets upstream. Then we have
more time to think what ioctl calls should used and which are
necessarry.

My first impression when looking this code was that this is just copy
paste work from fat driver. FITRIM is exactly the same. Whoever
copyed it must have not thinked this very closly. Good thing you
bringing this up.

I didn't want to just yet because there is quite lot messages and
things which are in Komarov todo list. Hopefully radio silence will
end soon. I'm afraid next message will be "Please pull" for Linus
and then it cannot happend because of radio silence.
