    mlock: avoid dirtying pages and triggering writeback · 5ecfda04
    Michel Lespinasse 提交于
    When faulting in pages for mlock(), we want to break COW for anonymous or
    file pages within VM_WRITABLE, non-VM_SHARED vmas.  However, there is no
    need to write-fault into VM_SHARED vmas since shared file pages can be
    mlocked first and dirtied later, when/if they actually get written to.
    Skipping the write fault is desirable, as we don't want to unnecessarily
    cause these pages to be dirtied and queued for writeback.
