Description malate_wangshu 2021-01-19 22:15:27 UTC 
When a memory region is mapped with huge pages, the softdirty bit is set only right after the huge pages is mapped. After the memory mapping, if the softdirty bit is cleared and the memory is written again, the softdirty bit is not set when reading from the process's pagemap.
