From a1dd450bcb1a05e8218b9aac0ee36f8755d8a140 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2012 16:01:27 -0800 Subject: mm: thp: set the accessed flag for old pages on access fault On x86 memory accesses to pages without the ACCESSED flag set result in the ACCESSED flag being set automatically. With the ARM architecture a page access fault is raised instead (and it will continue to be raised until the ACCESSED flag is set for the appropriate PTE/PMD). For normal memory pages, handle_pte_fault will call pte_mkyoung (effectively setting the ACCESSED flag). For transparent huge pages, pmd_mkyoung will only be called for a write fault. This patch ensures that faults on transparent hugepages which do not result in a CoW update the access flags for the faulting pmd. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon Cc: Chris Metcalf Acked-by: Kirill A.
