MM documentation.



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.
