DESCRIPTION

19       Discard all of the inodes for a given superblock. If the discard fails
20       because there are busy inodes then a non zero value is returned. If the
21       discard is successful all the inodes have been discarded. If kill_dirty
22       is set, discard dirty inodes too, otherwise treat them as busy.
