This exhaustive guide to the Linux memory subsystem is the first major resource since 2004 to cover key concepts and essential techniques for developers. The Linux memory management subsystem hasn’t had a definitive reference since 2004. 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.
