Hi! I'm currently looking at the execution path taken by the kernel on a page fault. It's more or less clear to me how it enters the kernel and sends a pagefault IPC. However, the return path taken where the user mode Pager responds is a bit more hidden. I was looking for something like "if IPC == pagefault answer) then ..." in the IPC code. Maybe someone could point out the relevant areas?! The places where the book keeping is done - or more precisely where a mapped/granted page is inserted into the page dictionary of an address space. Thanks, Martin.
