typo: It's xen_block_drive_create (s/driver/drive/), otherwise my IDE
can't find it :-(.

That doesn't match the code I'm reading, before the patch apply.

Nothing seems to set discard_granularity, so it keeps it's default to
-1, so .... wait, discard_granularity is unsigned :-(

The description is fine then.

With the two typos fixed (which I can try to remember to do on commit):

Sorry, my fingers are so used to typing 'driver'

Yes.

[PATCH] xen-block: only advertize discard to the frontend when it is enabled...

[Paul Durrant]

...and properly enable it when synthesizing a drive.

The Xen toolstack sets 'discard-enable' to '1' in xenstore when it wants
to enable discard on a specified image. The code in
xen_block_driver_create() correctly parses this and uses it to set
'discard' to 'unamp' for the file_layer, but fails to do the same for the
driver_layer (which effectively disables it). Meanwhile the code in
xen_block_realize() advertizes discard support to the frontend in the
default case (because conf->discard_granularity defaults to -1), even when
the underlying image may not handle it.

This patch adds the missing option to the driver_layer in
xen_block_driver_create() and checks whether BDRV_O_UNMAP is actually
set on the block device before advertizing discard to the frontend.
In the case that discard is supported it also makes sure that the
granularity is set to the physical block size.
