Hi, I understand that when zap_page_range is called it will clear the pte entries within that address ranges and removes the pages from the process address space and decrements the rss value. But I didnt see the pages being released to the freelist. why are the pages allowed to remain in the active memory even when the pages are unmapped from the process address space ? thanks a lot, Raghu -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
