What is the definition of the mpstat's major (mjf) and minor (minf) faults?

Thanks
 
my understanding, which may be wrong or just outdated, is that a major page fault is a page from disk, while a minor one was reclaims the page after it is tagged to go to disk, but waiting to be written

I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.
