It would be great if it was possible to check the page-flag values as well (locked, dirty, etc), tho this is less important. Finally, is there an architecture-independent method for determining the type of page fault? The only thing I've found was in the do_page_fault call, but it is processor-dependent. I would be happy to implement these features if they do not already exist and if noone else is working on them. Any suggestions are welcome. thanks! --craig -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
