Userspace tools might have the need to release space for Extent Space
Efficient (ESE) volumes when working with such a device.
Provide the necessarry interface for such a task by implementing a new
ioctl BIODASDRAS. The ioctl uses the format_data_t data structure for
data input:
typedef struct format_data_t {
unsigned int start_unit; /* from track */
unsigned int stop_unit; /* to track */
unsigned int blksize; /* sectorsize */
unsigned int intensity;
} format_data_t;
If the intensity is set to 0x40, start_unit and stop_unit are ignored
and space for the entire volume is released. Otherwise, if intensity is
set to 0, the respective range is released (if possible).

README
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 Restructured Text 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.
