Maybe you can point me to some discussion of how linux operates? I mean,
once the memory is mapped with the page tables, what happens once the
process does a read to a page? Does that generate a page fault? The crucial
thing is read followed by write. I suspect the problem isn't in the setting
up of the page, but in when it gets accessed and the resultant exceptions
or interrupts that produces. It seems like all discussions on this are
outdated and only apply to older kernels...
