the page cache

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

Does the page cache keep pages that are discarded but anticipated to
get reused by processes, or does it actually maintain pages that are
used and already within the address space of processes?

In other words, is it only an optimisation or is it also the actual
mechanism to track used pages?

Thanks,
Bahadir
