Re: is gorman linux VMM book still reasonably accurate?

["Ashwin Rao" <ashwin.shirvanthe@xxxxxxxxx>]

You can download the book and see for your self.
It is good book if you want to understand the basics on how the vm works.
Most of the stuff is still the same, with enhancements, like say
addition of a few
more flags in structures like struct page and so on.
