G'day Shaohua,

I'm testing Vanilla 3.7.0-rc4 and bumping up against squillions of these :

cc Martin to check if he has idea.

Hmm, I thought such problem is already fixed by Martin's discard merge patches
and my last test in SATA SSD doesn't show this problem. Maybe there is still
a corner case we didn't handle discard request merge well. Time run out today,
I'll check tomorrow.

Thanks,
