Date: 8 Dec 1982 15:47:42-EST I have a question about how 4.1bsd handles page faults (I have studied the code somewhat, but I do not yet understand it). My question is as follows: suppose a kernel routine wishes to examine a page in a process's address space. Will the kernel become upset if that page is not in core at that time? If not, would such a page need to be in the address space of the running process, or is there a way for the kernel to intelligently poke through the swap space for that page? Thanks in advance, John Woods jfw@mit-ccc@mit-mc ...!decvax!genradbo!mitccc!jfw
