Dear All,
In linux kernel, for all memory allocation done by *vmalloc*,
kernel maintains memory region descriptor *(vm_struct)* which stores
information about the linear virtual address range, no. of physical page
frames allocated... as a linked list headed by *vmlist *symbol.
Can you please give me information about how does kernel maintain
information about memory allocation done by malloc/calloc invoked by a user
application ?
I understand that kernel maintains a descriptor (*vm_area_struct*) per
application to hold information about the virtual address space allocated
for the heap region.
Regards,
Prabhu
