Well, the point was to use the latest sources instead of some image which can be obsolete tomorrow. However I created a new image with today's kernel which you can use:
http://fi.muni.cz/~xracek/debian2.img.bz2
Other things are the same.
The runtest.sh sets environment for xfstests and runs test 285 which I wrote and and which should test if FS sends discard requests only on free sectors:
285:
1. Create loop device and FS on it.
2. Populate it with some garbage.
3. Get free sectors from FS.
4. Run fstrim and look for discard requests via blk tracer.
5. Compare free sectors to discard requests.
The test itself can have some issues but I'm pretty sure it shouldn't crash the system. ;-)

Tom
