active_list page update

May 03, 2006 0 Replies

Hello:



Can anyone explain the algorithm that is used to update the PG_referenced flag for a page that is already in the active_list, especially for the heap and stock memory segments? After a page is moved to the active_list by the mark_page_accessed() with the PG_referenced flag cleared, how is the flag gets set again?



Appreciate all help,



-Ilya.
