Rather than reading/writing these pages to flash resulting in increased I/O and flash wear, the pte can be cleared for those addresses at unmap time while shrinking folio list. When this causes a page fault, do_pte_missing will take care of this page. With this patch, NVMe writes in Meta server fleet decreased by almost 10% with conventional swap setup (zswap disabled).
