Arjan,

I'd like to know/understand more about memory management on Linux
Kernel and I belive this concept is applyable to the Red Hat Linux Kernel.

I have some doubts about the ZONE divison (DMA, NORMAL, HIGHMEM),
Shared Memory utilization, HugeTLB feature and OOM with large memory and
the kernel management of memory on SMP machines. I believe these
features are common to the Linux kernel in general(Red Hat, Debian,
SuSe, kernel.org), right?
I read a tons of docs regarding symposiums, The Linux Memory
Management Book and lots of docs about Oracle memory management but
memory management still not clear to me.

If somebody can help me...

Thanks.
