TRIM on XFS

It's been a long time since I've been reading about TRIM. What is the 
current state for XFS? I believe there's TRIM support, but only offline. 
Can someone explain how to activate that and actually run a TRIM?

And there was some talk of "inline TRIM", i.e. always TRIMing on delete. 
Is that implemented already?

We're on VMware with thin provisioned machines, and that would hugely 
benefit from TRIM.
