Title:
  No TRIM via USB

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi,

  As USB attached SSDs are becoming quite big and affordable, along comes the idea of installing systems on these.
  But with current USB drivers, some functionality seems to be missing from USB subsystem.

  The system does not recognize it is an SSD, but it is corrected manually:
  # cat /etc/udev/rules.d/10-forcessd.rules
  SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTRS{vendor}=="SanDisk", ATTRS{model}=="Extreme", KERNEL=="sd?", ATTR{queue/rotational}="0"

  # cat /sys/block/sdb/queue/rotational
  0

  Checked hdparm, it is saying I have TRIM on the device:
  # hdparm -I /dev/sdb

  /dev/sdb:

  ATA device, with non-removable media
   Model Number:       SanDisk pSSD
  (...)
  Commands/features:
   Enabled	Supported:
  (...)
      *	Data Set Management TRIM supported (limit 8 blocks)
      *	Deterministic read ZEROs after TRIM
  (...)

  Here is appropriate dmesg:
  [    3.815604] usb 2-8: Manufacturer: SunplusIT INC.

  [    5.340783] sd 0:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI disk

  From here I'll be using /boot formatted to ext4 to eliminate luks,lvm
  and btrfs from the equasion:

  # mount |grep sdb2
  /dev/sdb2 on /boot type ext4 (rw,noexec,discard)

  # fstrim -v /boot/
  fstrim: /boot/: FITRIM ioctl failed: Operation not supported

  # strace fstrim -v /boot/
  (...)
  open("/boot/", O_RDONLY)                = 3
  ioctl(3, FITRIM, 0x7fffdded85c0)        = -1 EOPNOTSUPP (Operation not supported)
  (...)

  During debugging, I've tried compiling a kernel with UAS module to
  check, it booted, system was g changed with the trim - as it wouldn't
  been used at all.

  Any ideas why TRIM is not working on USB?
  Any timeframes for possible fix?
  Any workarounds maybe?
