The block group removal patch adds an alternate path to forget extents
other than btrfs_finish_extent_commit. As a result, any extents that would
be freed when the block group is removed aren't discarded. In my
test run, with a large copy of mixed sized files followed by removal, it
left nearly 2/3 of extents undiscarded.

As part of the extent removal review, I also added the discard call to
btrfs_destroy_pinned_extent.

Jeff we can't do a discard here, specially if unpin ==
fs_info->pinned_extents, as explained in:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=678886bdc6378c1cbd5072da2c5a3035000214e3

This isn't safe either for the similar reason as above. For example,
transaction N running, metadata bg X becomes empty and it's added to
fs_info->unused_bgs, cleaner kthread running and gets bg X from
fs_info->unused_bgs (running btrfs_delete_unused_bgs), does the
discard, power failure, reboot, superblock points to metadata extents
in the physical location of bg X that are now full of zeroes.

thanks

Thanks for the review, Filipe. I think I understand what you mean.
btrfs_finish_extent_commit is effectively the only safe place to
perform the discards, since we know the transaction is finished. I'll
need to rework block group deletions a bit since the clearing of the
dirty bits for the whole block group mean that
btrfs_finish_extent_commit never sees those blocks as eligible for
discard.

I just want to let you guys know that there are people 
waiting for the final patches of the discard problem :)
