Describe FITRIM as a best-effort attempt.
The wait ordering is correct, but the documentation promises end-to-end host reclamation. The implementation skips trimming after a cleanup error, skips unmounted or non-Linux volumes, and swallows trim failures. clean_now can therefore return Ok(CleanReport) even when host space was not reclaimed. State that the applicable trim attempt is awaited and that trim failures are logged without failing CleanReport.
Proposed documentation update
-//! So every clean that ran is followed by an `FITRIM`
+//! So every successful clean on a mounted Linux state volume attempts a `FITRIM`
-/// Returns only once the reclaim is complete end to end — including, in the
-/// microVM, the `FITRIM` that returns the freed blocks to the host image.
+/// For a successful cleanup, returns after the applicable best-effort `FITRIM`
+/// attempt completes. Trim failures are logged and do not change `CleanReport`.
- // a reply means the whole reclaim is done, on the host's
- // disk as well as inside the guest.
+ // The reply waits for the applicable trim attempt.
+ // Trim failures are logged and do not fail the report.Also applies to: 108-113, 150-155

Wait for in-flight maintenance before quiescing the state volume.
Stopping the maintenance actor does not guarantee that an already-running trim has finished. During shutdown, the state volume is quiesced before the maintenance work is fully joined, so trimming can race with syncfs and unmount. Retain and await the maintenance task, or otherwise coordinate the in-flight trim, before calling quiesce_state_volume_if_mounted.
