It seemed like mk_pte() should set the proper write bit already from the vm_page_prot? Perhaps this is harmless but redundant? > + page_add_new_anon_rmap(new_page, new, addr, false); > + rss[mm_counter(new_page)]++; > + set_pte_at(dst_mm, addr, dst_pte, pte); Linus's patch had a lru_cache_add_inactive_or_unevictable() here, like wp_page_copy() Didn't think of anything profound to say, looks good thanks! I'll forward this for testing as well, there are some holidays next week so I may have been optimistic to think by Monday. Jason
