Subject: Linked list of VM areas
Date: Sat, 2 Nov 2019 15:35:00 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191102143500.GA32489@ubuntu> (raw)
Hi everybody.
The linux kernel has its own implementation of linked lists using list_head
struct. So, why the vm_area_struct struct (defined in /include/linux/mm_types.h)
use specific pointers for the same purpose (members vm_next and vm_prev)?
Best regards.
Thanks in advance.
