Perhaps that is the bug!
Whatever pagefault_disable() does, it shouldn't disable the
SW dirty/young tracking - which should only needs bits moving
in the page table itself (and TLB update??) rather than any
operations on the rest of the data areas.
It looks to me as though this could happen any time a page
is marked inaccessible by the dirty/young tracking.
Not just as a result of COW.
