How did you test this?  Asking because my interruption fix for secure
discard is still pending because I could not find a test environment
for it.  And also because for a "secure" [1] erase proper invalidation
of the page cache actually matters, as otherwise you can still leak
data to the device.

[2] LBA based "secure" erase can't actually be secure on any storage
device that can write out of place.  Which is all of flash, but also
modern HDDs when encountering error.  It's a really bad interface
we should never have have started to support.
