[PATCH v4 08/14] mm/gup: Trigger break COW PTE before calling follow_pfn_pte()

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

 



In most of cases, GUP will not modify the page table, excluding
follow_pfn_pte(). To deal with COW PTE, Trigger the break COW
PTE fault before calling follow_pfn_pte().
