Thanks. Maybe that's because i'm trying with 2.2 VM. I find the (inode,offset) is set to (swapper_inode,entry) before a page's swap out. ------ 2.4 VM looks different, I'm looking through it. Difficult without a guide book. ----------- Actually, I'm doing the measure for a Memory Model. One of the key parameter is the average number that a page is read from disk into RAM. So I guess the page should refer to its physical content as a whole. ------- Please give me any good suggestions in doing this if you have. ---- Thank you very much. --- Swapnil Nagle <swaps@protonic.com> wrote: > > But would the mapping, index be changed when the > page > > is swpped out[?]..... > > Well, the physical page frame will be allocated to > some > other process; so the mapping and index may change. > But > what exactly are you referring to by "page".
