Subject[RFC PATCH 1/5][RESEND] livedump: Add notifier-call-chain into do_page_fault
Date
This patch adds notifier-call-chain that is called in do_page_fault.
This can be used to check whether page fault occurs for the normal reason,
or it is caused by special write protection, for example Live Dump.
