This is getting insane. Please learn how to use madvise and
posix_fadvise and let the kernel deal with paging. The kernel knows
everything about the underlying hardware; the application does not.

By paging the data manually to the disk, the only thing you are
achieving is duplicating it at the time of reading/writing. Please learn
how to use memory pages and stop telling people you know better when it
is obvious you don’t know what you are talking about.
