I think I've ran into the same problem today - guest-fstrim failed with "invalid argument" when being used with multiple file systems. Could you maybe split your patch in two parts, so that the first patch just fixes the issue with struct fstrim_range and the second patch does all the extensions to the guest agent call? That makes the patch easier to review and the bug fix itself could be cherry-picked easier to the stable branches later (i.e. for the first patch, you should/could CC: to the qemu-stable mailing list, too). Thanks! Thomas
