Do page faults present a problem for user-level threads implementations?

What will be an ideal response?


If a process with a user-level threads implementation takes a page fault, then by default the kernel will
deschedule the entire process. In principle, the kernel could instead generate a software interrupt in the process,
notifying it of the page fault and allowing it to schedule another thread while the page is fetched.
