[patch 2/3] [PATCH] mm: pagemap -- Inspect _PAGE_SOFT_DIRTY only on present pages

From: Cyrill Gorcunov
Date: Tue Oct 08 2013 - 05:02:54 EST


In case if a page we are inspecting is laying in swap we may
occasionally report it as having soft dirty bit (even if it
is clean). pte_soft_dirty helper should be called on present
pte only.
