This includes implemnetation of virtual memory and demand paging, memory allocation both for kernel internal structures and user space programms, mapping of files into processes address space and many other cool things. Linux memory management is a complex system with many configurable settings. Most of these settings are available via ``/proc`` filesystem and can be quired and adjusted using ``sysctl``. These APIs are described in Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt and in `man 5 proc`_. .. _man 5 proc: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/proc.5.html Here we document in detail how to interact with various mechanisms in the Linux memory management.
