[Question] Can PageReferenced() be replaced by reverse-mapping and pte_young()?

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

 



PG_referenced means "The page has been recently accessed." I think we can also check if a page has been accessed recently using reverse-mapping and pte_young(), though using PG_referenced is more efficient. I don't know if performance is the only reason we use PG_referenced flag. Thanks.
