+ * The algorithm using this percpu seq counter goes below:
+ * 1. We sample the percpu discard_pa_seq counter before trying for block
+ * allocation in ext4_mb_new_blocks().
+ * 2. We increment this percpu discard_pa_seq counter when we either allocate
+ * or free these blocks i.e. while marking those blocks as used/free in
+ * mb_mark_used()/mb_free_blocks().
+ * 3. We also increment this percpu seq counter when we successfully identify
+ * that the bb_prealloc_list is not empty and hence proceed for discarding
+ * of those PAs inside ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations().
+ *
+ * Now to make sure that the regular fast path of block allocation is not
+ * affected, as a small optimization we only sample the percpu seq counter
+ * on that cpu. Only when the block allocation fails and when freed blocks
+ * found were 0, that is when we sample percpu seq counter for all cpus using
+ * below function ext4_get_discard_pa_seq_sum(). This happens after making
+ * sure that all the PAs on grp->bb_prealloc_list got freed or if it's empty.
