Hello,
I have few more questions from my reading of Understanding the Linux
Kernel, chapter Memory Management.
- The book says, about releasing page frames to the per CPU cache - no
page frame is ever released to the cold cache: the kernel always assumes
the freed page frame is hot
?
I also read on a stack overflow thread that LOW_MEM is memory that is
permanently mapped into KVA, while HIGH_MEM is mapped as required. Is this
true?
Thanks,
Sunny

Hi Arun,
Thanks for that excellent explanation. It's more or less clear to me now.

I'm reading Bovet and Cesati's Understanding the Linux Kernel,
specifically the chapter Memory Addressing, sub-section Kernel Page
Tables. Here they describe how Linux initializes its page tables for
various RAM
