Hi, everyone I'm very interested in memory management, so I have read many materials such as Understanding the Linux Virtual Memory Manager and Understanding the Linux Kernel (2nd). These books are all about kernel 2.4 and I have read the source code of kernel 2.4 for a long time. I once thought I can use kernel 2.4 as my stepping-stone and begin my journey of kernel development, but I feel frustrated. Kernel 2.4 and kernel 4.4.30 are almost completely different! I can't even find a familiar function and I don't know how to begin. I want to contribute to mm subsystem and I believe many developers in this list are more experienced than me, so could you give me some advice. Thanks! Regards, Hao Lee
