Bug Description

Even if we set the cinder configuration option "report_discard_supported" to "true" when using the LVM driver with the LIO target and use thin provisioning, the Nova instances cannot reclaim unused space when the guest OS runs the "fstrim" command.

This is because the LIO target is not currently emulating the unmap command.

Hi all, I was wondering if the tgt target may have a similar problem. Reviewing its code, I couldn't find such behaviour for tgt (i.e. something like the supports_discard method implemented here).
