Christoph Hellwig 719c15a75e blk-lib: check for kill signal in ioctl BLKDISCARD
Discards can access a significant capacity and take longer than the user
expected.  A user may change their mind about wanting to run that command
and attempt to kill the process and do something else with their device.
But since the task is uninterruptable, they have to wait for it to
finish, which could be many hours.

Open code blkdev_issue_discard in the BLKDISCARD ioctl handler and check
for a fatal signal at each iteration so the user doesn't have to wait
for their regretted operation to complete naturally.

Heavily based on an earlier patch from Keith Busch.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
