[PATCHv2 12/41] thp: handle write-protection faults for file THP

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



For filesystems that wants to be write-notified (has mkwrite), we will
encount write-protection faults for huge PMDs in shared mappings.

The easiest way to handle them is to clear the PMD and let it refault as
wriable.
