Per Qu Wenruo in case we have a very large disk, e.g. 8TiB device, mostly empty although we will do the split according to our super block locations, the last super block ends at 256G, we can submit a huge discard for the range [256G, 8T), causing a large delay. Split the space left to discard based on BTRFS_MAX_DISCARD_CHUNK_SIZE in preparation of introduction of cancellation points to trim. The value of the chunk size is arbitrary, it can be higher or derived from actual device capabilities but we can't easily read that using bio_discard_limit().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
