Subject: [PATCH] PM / Hiberante : optimize swsusp_free()

Our team developed the snapshot booting.
Fisrt of all, make a snapshot image, compress it and finally save it
in the storage(like mmc).
When the system is booting next time, bootloader read it from mmc,
decompress it and jump to the kernel.
In this circumstance, mili seconds is very important.
So, I prepared this patch, but not applied because I missed the time
to apply it.

And, I came across to find commit fdd64ed.
It's very similar to the patch I prepared.

I think do { ... } while (fb_pfn != fr_pfn) operation is very similar
to my patch. but, it takes a little more time to iterate.
So suggest to iterate one of two maps and check whether the other map
has the same pfn, finally free the page.

describe it in details.
As pavel said, 5ms is not important in the normal booting system.
but mili seconds is important in the hibernation or snapshot system.
Just suggestion.

Thank you.

This changelog in total pants, sorry.

Please write what the patch is doing and why instead of describing
your testing experience.  The numbers are useful too, but only to
show what the gain is, and you need to explain what is changing and
why.

So why exactly isn't it necessary to look at memory_bm_next_pfn(forbidden_pages_map)?
