I dont know my approach is correct or not,But the actual purpose was to dump only written pages of a user process using a kernel module.I have a kernel thread which will dump user process memory in specific interval.So i thought of updating this flag (L_PTE_DEBUG) from handle_pte_fault and clear from my clear thread so that i can dump only the written pages after my last dump.
if you have some suggestions could you please share wth me?

From linux(2.6.35) arm page table architecture i can see we have one
hardware page table and there is corresponding Linux page table Entry
(L_PTE_*).The "Linux" PTE definitions are as like below from
arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable.h.
|#define L_PTE_PRESENT (1<< 0)
#define L_PTE_FILE (1<< 1)
#define L_PTE_YOUNG (1<< 1)
#define L_PTE_BUFFERABLE(1<< 2)
#define L_PTE_CACHEABLE (1<< 3)
#define L_PTE_USER (1<< 4)
#define L_PTE_WRITE (1<< 5)
#define L_PTE_EXEC (1<< 6)
#define L_PTE_DIRTY (1<< 7)
#define L_PTE_COHERENT (1<< 9)
#define L_PTE_SHARED (1<< 10)

debugging purpose (basically to trap all the write to that page and set
this bit when write happens and clear it off in another thread )? Or
is there any limitation like we can use only L_PTE till 10th bit ?
No such limitation on bit 11, so you can use define L_PTE_DEBUG (1 << 11)
However I don't follow why you want to do so?
So could you please help_______________________________________________
