However if one node in OCFS allocated the block that another node trims (the non-locking case), you will loose that newly allocated block. I wonder whether fstrim can be used in cluster filesystems.
Looks ocfs2 supports fstrim, according to this commit:

commit e80de36d8dbff216a384e9204e54d59deeadf344
Author: Tao Ma <boyu.mt at taobao.com>
Date:   Mon May 23 10:36:43 2011 +0800

     ocfs2: Add ocfs2_trim_fs for SSD trim support.
     Add ocfs2_trim_fs to support trimming freed clusters in the
     volume. A range will be given and all the freed clusters greater
     than minlen will be discarded to the block layer.

If something goes wrong with it, I'd suggest open a BZ, or ask ocfs2 maillist for help.
