How exactly is SSD over-provisioning handled in Linux?

Is it necessary to perform some extra configurations, intentionally leave some unpartitioned space or simply do nothing and just trim/discard.

Overprovisioning is handled inside the SSD, not inside the OS.

Bullshit.

>>56217721
Trim and do nothing. It's not like the fs is 99% full anyways.

maker builds 140GB (or something) onto disk, sells it at 120GB, with some space for reallocation

It's where the manufacturer of the drive will put in, say 128GB of flash, but advertise it as 120GB. The drive will report 120GB, but the remaining 8GB is used for reallocating dying flash/wear leveling.
