Actually I was referring to the (attached) diagram given in Linux Kernel Development by Robert Love. It suggests that what we get is a struct page.

This is necessary because the MMU has no idea what a struct_page looks like - those are different between different OSes and even between different versions of the same OS! -- "You don't have to be crazy to do this... but it helps." -- Bob Ross -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
