Subject: question about get_user_pages and swapping
gup increments page->count (FOLL_GET) provided pages argument is not null.
To my limited knowledge elevated page count doesn't prevent page from
being moved from active to inactive list. What is more, such page may
also be selected for reclamaition.
Is my limited knowledge correct here?
Is there anything that would stop such page from being swapped?
Thanks,
Tomasz
