5 Memory Management Guide
6 =======================
8 This is a guide to understanding the memory management subsystem
9 of Linux. If you are looking for advice on simply allocating memory,
10 see the :ref:`memory_allocation`. For controlling and tuning guides,
11 see the :doc:`admin guide <../admin-guide/mm/index>`.
33 This is a collection of older documents about the Linux memory management
34 (MM) subsystem internals with different level of details ranging from
35 notes and mailing list responses for elaborating descriptions of data
36 structures and algorithms. It should all be integrated nicely into the
37 above structured documentation, or deleted if it has served its purpose.
