The payload of TRIM has constant size, so it makes sense to do that.
The kernel then self-imposes a 2GB limit in blkdev_issue_discard.

On the other hand, READ and WRITE of size n can possibly require O(n)

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
