These questions got raised while I was going through vm_normal_page -
1) Why are there some special pte_mappings? [when i went through
mm/memory.c, ]
2) why is [is_zero_pfn] zero pfn used?
I followed the code path, but could not understand semantically what is a
special pte mapping used for and this zer_pfn? It would be great if you can
please point me to resources.
Thanks !
