thus would wasteful copy processs memory fork instead copyonwrite technique used.copyonwrite implemented efficiently using page table marking certain pages memory readonly keeping count number references page.data written pages kernel intercepts write attempt allocates new physical page initialized copyonwrite data although allocation skipped one reference.kernel updates page table new writable page decrements number references performs write.new allocation ensures change memory one process visible anothers.the copyonwrite technique extended support efficient memory allocation page physical memory filled zeros.memory allocated pages returned refer page zeros marked copyonwrite.
