Doc Text:
With this update, it is now possible to configure discard after delete per block storage domain. Previously, a user could get similar functionality by configuring the discard_enable parameter in the VDSM configuration file. This caused each logical volume (disk or snapshot) that was about to be removed by this specific host to be discarded first. Now, discard after delete can be enabled for a block storage domain, rather than a host. This means that if discard after delete is enabled it no longer matters which host removes the logical volume as each logical volume under this domain will be discarded before it is removed.

Description Idan Shaby 2016-06-06 06:36:25 UTC 
Description of problem:
Today, sending discard when removing a disk or a snapshot can be configured on the vdsm configuration file for a host. That means that a host with this property on will send discard calls for each disk/snapshot removal on any block storage domain.

Since the user might want to send discard calls only for some storage domains (those who are built on thin provisioned storage that supports discard), we should change this configuration from host oriented to block storage domain oriented.
