linux - How can I use the vm_operations struct to intercept page faults to a particular set of pages? -
i create kernel module when given id of process can lookup task struct , memory map. when finds should attach function serve page faults particular set of pages (namely heap pages).
set vma->vm_ops->fault
of needed vma. can easier, if hack heap allocator , replace mmap
s mmap_anonymous mmap
of special device.
