Hi,
I have some confusion about when is anon=1 when __do_fault is called.
__do_fault seems to be called only when the page fault is of a linear
or a non-linear mapping. My understanding is neither of these can be
anonymous, so I am confused about the below code fragment:
In which case is anon=1 when memory.c::__do_fault is called?
In __do_fault, you'll see something like...
if (anon) {
inc_mm_counter_fast(mm, MM_ANONPAGES);
page_add_new_anon_rmap(page, vma, address);
} else {
Thanks!
Joel
