kernel swapping

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

 



Hi folks,

I wonder whether any kernel code is swapped out in some cases? E.g. in
windows NT kernel kernel code is divided into two parts - swappable and
nonswappable, there is specific macros to mark the code being swappable.

So, as I understand, all kernel code (including modules) and all
static/global data is unswappable, all dynamic memory allocated with
GFP_ATOMIC is unswappable, with GFP_KERNEL is swappable. Am I right?
