Hi, I have a doubt regarding the working of the VMA. How is a program executable's text region shared among processes that are running the same program ? I would like to understand how finally the same pages are shared between the 2 processes . Thanks & Regards, Raj. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
