Instead, let's free the cold page because swapin is more expensive than (alloc page + zeroing). With this patch, it reduced swapin from 879,585 to 1,878 so elapsed time 1) dontneed: 6.10user 233.50system 0:50.44elapsed 2) madvfree: 6.03user 401.17system 1:30.67elapsed 2) madvfree + below patch: 6.70user 339.14system 1:04.45elapsed Signed-off-by: Minchan Kim Acked-by: Michal Hocko Acked-by: Hugh Dickins Cc: "James E.J.
