I spent some time reading through that. I believe we're tackling two
separate problems. Correct me if I'm wrong, but your patches are making
subsequent fitrims faster because it's skipping over free regions that
were never allocated by the chunk allocator.

This series is aiming to solve intra-block group trim latency as trim is
handled during transaction commit and consequently also help prevent
retrimming of the free space that is already trimmed.

Thanks,
Dennis
