I am running the EXT0DB6Q firmware on my 840 EVO + 3.13.0-53 , and think
this issue may have cleared up somewhat.

The first time I ran   
chiluk@beastly:/etc/cron.weekly$ sudo fstrim /home
I got.
^[OQfstrim: /home: FITRIM ioctl failed: Input/output error

The Log showed

It sounds like the drive was just taking too long for the writes to
complete. Hence the (timeout).   I ran it a second time, and did not get
these errors.  These errors may also be related to the charge
degredation of the the TLC nand on these drives.  This may be also
partially due to the way the samsung firmware is managing sectors on the
drive.  In that it might be needing to restructure/rewrite metadata due
to my recent firmware update.

I then went and cleaned some 30gb out of my home dir, and ran it a third
time.  I did not get any errors this time.

Also how are you guys "enabling trim".  It is recommended that you not
enable trim by adding discard to the mount options.  This will greatly
slow down deletes.  Instead it is recommended that you let fstrim-all
run out of anacron /etc/cron.weekly/fstrim.  Your above trim tests will
show that trim is not enabled, when it is actually being run weekly in
the background.  If you need trim run more frequently than that move it
to the daily or hourly folder.  Just be careful with doing so.
