From 179ef71cbc085252e3fe6b8159263a7ed1d88ea4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cyrill Gorcunov Date: Tue, 13 Aug 2013 16:00:49 -0700 Subject: mm: save soft-dirty bits on swapped pages Andy Lutomirski reported that if a page with _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit set get swapped out, the bit is getting lost and no longer available when pte read back. To resolve this we introduce _PTE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit which is saved in pte entry for the page being swapped out. When such page is to be read back from a swap cache we check for bit presence and if it's there we clear it and restore the former _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY bit back. One of the problem was to find a place in pte entry where we can save the _PTE_SWP_SOFT_DIRTY bit while page is in swap. The _PAGE_PSE was chosen for that, it doesn't intersect with swap entry format stored in pte.
