If Squashfs has been configured to directly read datablocks into the page cache (SQUASHFS_FILE_DIRECT), then the read_page cache is unnecessary. This improvement is due to the following two commits, which added the ability to read datablocks into the page cache when pages were missing, enabling the fallback which used an intermediate buffer to be removed. commit f268eedddf359 ("squashfs: extend "page actor" to handle missing pages") commit 1bb1a07afad97 ("squashfs: don't use intermediate buffer if pages missing") This reduces the amount of memory used when mounting a filesystem by block_size * maximum number of threads.
