I think this patch does what you mean:
$ strace -f -e fallocate qemu-io \
-c 'open -o pass-discard-request=on /var/tmp/test' \
-c 'write 0 1M' \
-c 'write -u -z 0 1M' \
2>&1 >/dev/null | \
grep fallocate
[pid 17548] fallocate(17, FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE|FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE, 327680,
1048576) = 0
$ strace -f -e fallocate qemu-io \
-c 'open -o pass-discard-request=off /var/tmp/test' \
-c 'write 0 1M' \
-c 'write -u -z 0 1M' \
2>&1 >/dev/null | \
grep fallocate
Because there is another check of pass-discard-request value in
update_refcount:
if (refcount == 0 && s->discard_passthrough[type]) {
update_refcount_discard(bs, cluster_offset, s->cluster_size);
}
