VMs have already TRIM enabled by default, but dom0 doesn't. There are some security implications (read for example ​this article), but IMO not very serious.

To enable TRIM in dom0 you need:

  1. Get your root device UUID:

    blkid /dev/mapper/*root

  2. Add entry to /etc/crypttab (replace <UUID> with the device UUID):

    luks-<UUID> UUID=<UUID> none allow-discards

  3. Add rd.luks.allow-discards=1 to kernel cmdline (/etc/default/grub, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line)

  4. Rebuild grub config (grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg)

  5. Rebuild initrd in hostonly mode:

    dracut -H -f

  6. Add "discard" option to /etc/fstab for root device

  7. Reboot the system, verify that allow-discards is really enabled (dmsetup table)

There is a ​bug affecting allow-discards option, once it will be fixed, first two steps will be no longer needed.
