One of the comments there says that it should just set the dirty bit in page_map and drop pte . But in the code I could not find anywhere PG_dirty flag being set in page_map. Or there is some magic involved ? If I have missed out something please enlighten me. Nilesh Patel -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
