Hi all,
Does anyone know the difference between pte_dirty(pte)
and PageDirty(page)?
AFAIK each pte points to a page frame and should be
the same, but sometimes pte_dirty returns true and
PageDirty returns false for the same physical page
frame. Below is a snippet of code:
...
pfn = pte_pfn(pte);
if (pfn_valid(pfn)) {
page = pfn_to_page(pfn);
if pte_dirty(pte) {};
if (PageDirty(page)) {};
...
}
...
Any idea???
BR,
Mauricio Lin.
