Because addresses of each successive page structure are often descending
it is much faster to use read()'s, so set off info->flag_usemmap
while doing exclude_free_page().

Sounds good.
BTW, do you have a speed measurement like your another patch ?


Also how about keeping mmap mode and reducing mapping size temporarily to 4KiB?

I find this to speed the scan of page structures for a 1TB system from
60sec to 30sec.

I don't know which this measured time indicates. Only free pages filtering or free pages filtering plus unnecessary pages filtering?

Thanks.
