>Description:
pmap_make_enter() has the following block of code to skip mod/ref emulation for managed pages that are already modified and/or referenced:
if ((prot & VM_PROT_WRITE) != 0 &&
((flags & VM_PROT_WRITE) != 0 || VM_PAGEMD_MODIFIED_P(mdpg))) {
/*
* This is a writable mapping, and the page's mod state
* indicates it has already been modified. No need for
* modified emulation.
*/
pte |= PTE_A;
} else if ((flags & VM_PROT_ALL) || VM_PAGEMD_REFERENCED_P(mdpg)) {
/*
* - The access type indicates that we don't need to do
* referenced emulation.
* OR
* - The physical page has already been referenced so no need
* to re-do referenced emulation here.
*/
pte |= PTE_A;
}
In the first block, handling the VM_PAGEMD_MODIFIED_P(), the new PTE does not get the Dirty bit, meaning that a write fault will have to be processed. That line should almost certainly be:
pte |= PTE_A | PTE_D;
>How-To-Repeat:
Code observation.
>Fix:
See above.
