External documents

  • Joe Knapka's [http://www.kneuro.net/linux-mm/ Outline of the Linux Memory Management System], which is mostly about the 2.4 kernel.

  • Mel Gorman's book [http://www.phptr.com/content/images/0131453483/downloads/gorman_book.pdf "Understanding the Linux Virtual Memory Manager"] (beware: it's a 8.5MB pdf) from [http://phptr.com/perens Bruce Perens' Open Source Series], which also covers what is new in 2.6 kernels. [http://www.skynet.ie/~mel/projects/vm/ Here] is Mel's old page about Linux VM.
