I doubt, the computing and locking cost for every single page write
would be probably too high. Doing it during swapping isn't a big deal
since cpu is mostly idle during swapouts, but doing it all the time
sounds a bit overkill.
A mechanism to pass down a pid would be much better. However I'm unsure
where you could put the info while dirtying the page. If it was an uid
it might be reasonable to have it in the address_space, but if you want
a pid as index, then it'd need to go in the page_t, which would waste
tons of space. Having a pid in the address space, may not work well with
a database or some other app with multiple processes.
