Subject: [PATCH] mm: don't lose the SOFT_DIRTY flag on mprotect
Date: Thu, 30 Jan 2014 00:04:59 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1391025899-25299-1-git-send-email-avagin@openvz.org> (raw)
The SOFT_DIRTY bit shows that the content of memory was changed
after a defined point in the past. mprotect() doesn't change the
content of memory, so it must not change the SOFT_DIRTY bit.
This patch does nothing with _PAGE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY, becase pte_modify()
is called only for present pages.
Fixes: 0f8975ec4db2 (mm: soft-dirty bits for user memory changes tracking)
