Memory Management Guide
|
|
|
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a guide to understanding the memory management subsystem
|
|
|
|
|
of Linux. If you are looking for advice on simply allocating memory,
|
|
|
|
|
see the :ref:`memory_allocation`. For controlling and tuning guides,
|
|
|
|
|
see the :doc:`admin guide <../admin-guide/mm/index>`.

Legacy Documentation
|
|
|
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a collection of older documents about the Linux memory management
|
|
|
|
|
(MM) subsystem internals with different level of details ranging from
|
|
|
|
|
notes and mailing list responses for elaborating descriptions of data
|
|
|
|
|
structures and algorithms. It should all be integrated nicely into the
|
|
|
|
|
above structured documentation, or deleted if it has served its purpose.
