Hi, I would suggest you to go through the Linux Kernel book Robert Love which is simpler to understand. Regards Sanjeev Sharma On Mon, Feb 8, 2016 at 2:13 PM, 慕冬亮 <mudongliangabcd@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi,

I am beginner to kernel source. I decide to work on Performance Tuning. I studied some material around memory management but which material is well described for Memory management in Linux?

Thank you,

masoud

Hi,

just a caution that that book is starting to show its age, even though it's still really, really good. the memory management is probably still fairly current, but i would compare all code snippets against the current kernel just in case.

I did it, last year (almost), comparing code snippet in the book toward kernel source there (I think it was version 3.10 or maybe 4.0, I don't remember precisely), the code/topics is still relevant. I am not aware of the situation for 4.14 or newer version tough. best wishes, -navid
