Book Description

The Linux memory management subsystem hasn't had a definitive reference since 2004. The Linux Memory Manager fills this void with a modern, in-depth exploration of how Linux handles memory, combining high-level overviews with detailed code analysis. Written by a Linux kernel maintainer and supported by insights from memory management experts, this book provides readers with a rare opportunity to explore the subsystem at both the conceptual and code levels. This 1,300-page guide goes beyond surface explanations, showing how core principles are implemented in the Linux kernel source and serving as both a study guide and an on-the-job reference for years to come.
