looks like your qemu WRITE_SAME patch isn't completed :)
You implement WRITE_SAME as if it doesn't do any data transfer. So qemu scsi driver gets resid.
The reason why WRITE_SAME works now is that scsi-ml doesn't care about resid with PC commands but it cares with FS commands.
I confirmed that qemu scsi driver gets the identical command with both PC and FS commands and qemu calls xfsctl.

Seems that I finished discard FS conversion. I'll update it on the top of James' uprep patchset soon.
