Linux kernel MM question

["hai huang" <haih@umich.edu>]

Hi, I'm a graduate student at University of Michigan.  I've posted this
question about Linux MM in some Linux kernel newsgroups and no one seems to
be able to answer it.  Here it is below, if you experts can help me or just
a little hint, it will be very helpful for me.

>>
Is there an inverse page table implemented in Linux?  If not, how does a
physical page maps to a virtual page?  If there is an inverse page table,
where is this located in the kernel code?

I'm asking this question because I'm looking for a way to declare a range
of physical memory as void by relocate everything in this range of memory to
either another location in memory or to the disk, so I need to find a way
to map physical page to virtual page to update this change.


Thank you.
