When we get a COW fault and discover that whoever we were COW'ing together with has either COW'ed that page on their end (or they have unmapped/exited) we simplify life for ourselves by clearing the COW bit and keeping the page we already have. (No need to COW if the page is not shared!) The act of doing this does not return a committed page to the pool. In fact, that committed page we had reserved for this purpose was used up (allocated) by our COW buddy when they COW'ed the page. This fixes a kernel panic when running TestLibCMkTemp. :^) |

SerenityOS
Graphical Unix-like operating system for x86 computers.
About
SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.
Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.
I (Andreas) regularly post raw hacking sessions and demos on my YouTube channel.
Sometimes I write about the system on my github.io blog.
I'm also on Patreon and GitHub Sponsors if you would like to show some support that way.
