 Date:		August 2010
 Contact:	Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org>
 Description:
-		The notify_free file is read-only and specifies the number of
-		swap slot free notifications received by this device. These
-		notifications are sent to a swap block device when a swap slot
-		is freed. This statistic is applicable only when this disk is
-		being used as a swap disk.
+		The notify_free file is read-only. Depending on device usage
+		scenario it may account a) the number of pages freed because
+		of swap slot free notifications or b) the number of pages freed
+		because of REQ_DISCARD requests sent by bio. The former ones
+		are sent to a swap block device when a swap slot is freed, which
+		implies that this disk is being used as a swap disk. The latter
+		ones are sent by filesystem mounted with discard option,
+		whenever some data blocks are getting discarded.
