The entire kernel is special code that resides in RAM, hence the fact
it's a "monolithic" kernel.

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,

Hi All,
I know that kernel preemption exists in order to allow high-priority
processes to interrupt the kernel if the kernel executes on relatively
long code paths in order to improve latency times and process
responsiveness. However, I am curious to know when and where the
kernel gets preempted an
