My machine must have no swap at all and I'm wondering how the kernel acts if physical memory is needed. I think data pages are untouched: otherwise they'd be lost. But what about code pages? Are these flushed and then reloaded from the actual disk executable, or kept in memory? And in the last case, how does the memory manager deal with "out of memory" issue?
Thanks in advance. Maurizio Berti
