What is validity fault?


If a process referring a page in the main memory whose valid bit is not set, it results in validity fault.
      The valid bit is not set for those pages:
  Ø  that are outside the virtual address space of a process,
  Ø  that are the part of the virtual address space of the process but no physical address is assigned to it.
