Have you tried reading basic Kernel books?


And this is the first link that comes from google search
http://linux-mm.org/

Hi,

You can try "Understanding the Linux virtual memory manager" by Mel Gorman 
for understanding mm concepts.

Thanks,
Sowmya

Memory Management

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,

I think "Understanding The Linux Virtual Memory Manager" is a good choice.

[sanjeev sharma]

Hi,

I would suggest you to go through the Linux Kernel book Robert Love which
is simpler to understand.

   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.
