> Apparently the original patch didn’t send for linux stable branch. I don't know exactly what you mean, but 4.14 kernel has this patch. It's easy to verify by changed messages ("enabling ssd optimizations" vs "enabling SSD mode").
> can you ask the patch author and BTRFS maintainers I'm not sure how to ask BTRFS maintainers and why I would do so, because patch description suggests that it should be backported and has notes about it: Backporting notes Notes for whoever wants to backport this patch to their 4.9 LTS kernel: * First apply commit 951e796 "btrfs: drop the nossd flag when remounting with -o ssd", or fixup the differences manually. * The rest of the conflicts are because of the fs_info refactoring. So, for example, instead of using fs_info, it's root->fs_info in extent-tree.c -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1740143 Title: backport btrfs ssd mount option fix Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hello, It appears that all kernels before 4.14 had a problem with btrfs ssd mount option. According to https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Gotchas#ssd_mount_option, it has a negative impact on usability and lifetime of modern SSDs. Since it is enabled by default when SSD is detected, it affects all systems with SSD drives. Please backport this commit to normal and HWE kernels: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/583b723151794e2ff1691f1510b4e43710293875 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: linux-image-generic 4.4.0.104.109 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-104.127-generic 4.4.98 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-104-generic x86_64 AlsaDevices: total 0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 1 дек 17 10:50 seq crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 33 дек 17 10:50 timer AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version k4.4.0-104-generic.
