You certainly want to have a look at « Understanding the Linux Virtual Memory Manager », that you can buy [1] or download as a PDF [2]. Then, for some issues that are currently being worked on by VMM kernel developers, have a look at the Linux-MM Wiki [3]. You'll find informations about issues such as compressed caching, page replacement, network storage deadlock, page tracing, huge pages, etc. Sincerly, Thomas [1] http://www.informit.com/store/product.aspx?isbn=0131453483 [2] http://www.informit.com/content/images/0131453483/downloads/gorman_book.pdf [3] http://linux-mm.org/ -- Thomas Petazzoni - thomas.petazzoni@xxxxxxxx http://{thomas,sos,kos}.enix.org - http://www.toulibre.org http://www.{livret,agenda}dulibre.org -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
