The ptes produced by faultaround feature are by default young and that is found to cause page reclaim issues [1]. But making the ptes old results in a unixbench regression for some architectures [2]. But arm64 doesn't show the regression. unixbench shell8 scores (5 runs min, max, avg): Base: (741,748,744) With this patch: (739,748,743) Add a faultaround mm hook to make the faultaround ptes old only for arm64.
