What is called a page fault?

  Shared By: Adah Miller    Date: Jan 25    Category: Unix / Linux / Ubuntu    Views: 203

Answer:

Page fault is referred to the situation when the process addresses a page in the working set of the process but the process fails to locate the page in the working set. And on a page fault the kernel updates the working set by reading the page from the secondary device.
