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.
