    userfaultfd: add new syscall to provide memory externalization · 86039bd3
    Andrea Arcangeli 提交于
    Once an userfaultfd has been created and certain region of the process
    virtual address space have been registered into it, the thread responsible
    for doing the memory externalization can manage the page faults in
    userland by talking to the kernel using the userfaultfd protocol.
    
    poll() can be used to know when there are new pending userfaults to be
    read (POLLIN).
