Attached patch adds a simple call to posix_fadvise with
POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED on all the files being read when doing a base
backup, to help the kernel not to trash the filesystem cache.
Seems like a simple enough fix - in fact, I don't remember why I took
it out of the original patch :O
Any reason not to put this in? Is it even safe enough to put into 9.1
(probably not, but maybe?)
