Hello All, I am currently reading on memory management in the Linux kernel, and I am wondering what's the relation ship between virtual addresses and 'struct page' s. Now I do understand that a virtual address will eventually map into a PTE and an offset that represent the physical memory address, so how does that fit in with struct page, what it is used for and how are its flags different from those of a PTE. Does any kind of mapping exist between PTEs and 'struct page's, and where is that mapping held?
