[pnilesh@in.ibm.com]

When a prcess starts executing . the uninitialised data and stack pages are
anonymous mappings. (what I understood)
As soon as the there is first write on say stack page there will be a page
fault.

What I want to know is
After the page fault is handled there is a page in swap memory which acts
as the backing store for this page ??
Is this true for all the stack and bss pages and modified data pages ?
These pages will be given backing store till the process dies ??
