As I know, in fragmented filesystem space, there are may dozens of thousand
discard, in scenario of cellphone user are using, 30% is above 64K size, but
occupy 75% space of all undiscard space, so I changed discard_granularity to 64K
just to release bulk space in device. For other small-sized discards, I expect
that they may extend and cross the granularity threshold soon, and fstrim of
android could cover them in the night.

Do you encounter performance degression due to holding 64k-below size discard?
