+Exceptions for Shared Memory
+============================
+
+Page table entries for shared pages are cleared when the pages are zapped or
+swapped out. This makes swapped out pages indistinguishable from never-allocated
+ones.
+
+In kernel space, the swap location can still be retrieved from the page cache.
+However, values stored only on the normal PTE get lost irretrievably when the
+page is swapped out (i.e. SOFT_DIRTY).
+
+In user space, whether the page is present, swapped or none can be deduced with
+the help of lseek and/or mincore system calls.
+
+lseek() can differentiate between accessed pages (present or swapped out) and
+holes (none/non-allocated) by specifying the SEEK_DATA flag on the file where
+the pages are backed. For anonymous shared pages, the file can be found in
+``/proc/pid/map_files/``.
+
+mincore() can differentiate between pages in memory (present, including swap
+cache) and out of memory (swapped out or none/non-allocated).
