Finally, a comprehensive guide to the Linux VM!VM's behavior affects every Linux kernel subsystem and dramatically impacts overall performance. But until now, there was only one way to understand VM: study the poorly documented source one line at a time. Now there's an easier, faster alternative. This book describes VM in unprecedented detail, presenting both theoretical foundations and a line-by-line source code commentary. It systematically covers everything from physical memory description to out-of-memory management. Coverage includes: * Linux VM 2.4 architecture in depth-with diagrams and call graphs * Physical memory description, page tables, address spaces, and memory allocation * High memory, swapping, shared memory, and much more * Expert guidance for analyzing the code of any open source project * New Linux 2.6 kernel features in every chapterWell organized and superbly written, Understanding the Linux Virtual Memory Manager will be indispensable to every kernel programmer and researcher.

最后，一份关于Linux虚拟机的全面指南！虚拟机的行为影响到每一个Linux内核子系统，并极大地影响整体性能。但直到现在，只有一种方法来了解VM：一次行研究记录不全的源代码。现在有了一个更简单、更快速的选择。本书以前所未有的详细程度描述了虚拟机，既介绍了理论基础，又对源代码进行了逐行注释。它系统地涵盖了从物理内存描述到内存外管理的所有内容。覆盖范围包括。* 深入介绍Linux VM 2.4架构--包括图表和调用图 * 物理内存描述、页表、地址空间和内存分配 * 高内存、交换、共享内存等等 * 分析任何开源项目代码的专家指导 * 每一章都有新的Linux 2.6内核特性条理清晰、文笔精湛，《理解Linux虚拟内存管理器》将是每个内核程序员和研究人员不可缺少的。
