Running fstrim on a NTFS partition (mounted via ntfs-3g) results in the error:

Kernel version: 5.10.3.arch1-1

Please check 5.10.1.arch1-1 to see if the issue is triggered by the update to 5.10 rather than the disabling of the in kernel NTFS support in 5.10.3.arch1-1.
You can obtain the kernel from [1] is you do not have it in the system's package cache.

I get the same error with 5.10.1.arch1-1.

Is the issue still present using linux 5.11-rc7 available from [1]?

So the change is intended and hence not a bug?

It's a kernel bug, see https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=211167
(Edit: oops I see you've already linked to that)

I didn't encounter the issue anymore with linux-5.11.7.arch1.
