Hi,
i was going through the Linux Kernel Development book. It mention the following:
"Additionally, kernel memory is not pageable.Therefore, every byte of memory you consume is one less byte of available physical memory."
What is the meaning of 'Kernel memory is not pageable'? Anyone can give details would help me in understanding.
Thanks, Vijay
It means that it can't be swapped to your swap partition, even if you're not using it.
