ok, My test is using iontest userspace.
I will share the result next version.
By the way, which benchmark you prefer to use for ION test?

Yes, change this latter.

Yes, if we want not to do this extra sync for newly allocated pages.

I will add a new parameter in the ion page-pool to distinguish from
it's cached or not.

Here are some bugs, I will also modify here next version.
