Hi all, I have 2 generall questions to the address spaces in kernel: 1) When the terms "user space" and "kernel space" are used, do they refer to the physical memory of the machine (RAM, actually present) or to the virtual memory (4 GB on 32-bit machines, just virtual) ? 2) I have read somewhere, that kernel threads always have "mm" member of their task_struct pointing to "NULL" (task.mm->NULL). Is that correct?
