Sir,
I and my 3 friends did a
project "The Network RAM" last year as our final year project. We faced the main
difficulty as it was difficult to read the memory management code in kernel. The
only documentation available was bye Joe Knapka. So we have done
documentation while . We also made an algorithmic code walkthrough of the kernel
functions related to memory management. The codewalkthrough covers in depth
initialization and working of
1) Bootmem allocator
2) Zone allocator
3) Slab allocator
Many of our friends used it
along with code and found very useful to understand the code. Though it was done
for kernel 2.4.4 i think it is still useful. We will be very much glad if you
can put it on this website so that other laypersons can get the benifit. Please
let us know about this. So that i can send you the HTML file.
Waiting for a reply.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Amey Inamdar
