Linked list of VM areas

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

 



Hi everybody.

The linux kernel has its own implementation of linked lists using list_head
struct. So, why the vm_area_struct struct (defined in /include/linux/mm_types.h)
use specific pointers for the same purpose (members vm_next and vm_prev)?

Best regards.
Thanks in advance.
