| |
When a page is used for virtual memory, it is often necessary to obtain a handler to the corresponding vm_struct, which refers to the virtually continuous area generated when invoking vmalloc.
The struct page has a "mapping" field, which can be re-used, to store a pointer to the parent area.
This will avoid more expensive searches, later on.
