[PATCH v11 12/14] HMM: fork copy migrated memory into system memory for child process.

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

 



When forking if process being fork had any memory migrated to some
device memory, we need to make a system copy for the child process.
Latter patches can revisit this and use the same COW semantic for
device memory.
