@@ -28,6 +28,13 @@ This is so, since the pages are still mapped to physical memory, and thus all
the kernel does is finds this fact out and puts both writable and soft-dirty
bits on the PTE.
+ While in most cases tracking memory changes by #PF-s is more than enough
+there is still a scenario when we can lose soft dirty bits -- a task
+unmaps a previously mapped memory region and then maps a new one at exactly
+the same place. When unmap is called, the kernel internally clears PTE values
+including soft dirty bits. To notify user space application about such
+memory region renewal the kernel always marks new memory regions (and
+expanded regions) as soft dirty.
This feature is actively used by the checkpoint-restore project. You
can find more details about it on http://criu.org
