原创 Linux初始化页描述符对象

在前面我们讨论了内存节点node_mem_map成员的初始化。了解到此成员其实是以struct page为单位的数组，数组大小跟此节点内存大小相关，那么这些描述符是何时初始化呢，当前主要是在mem_init函数进行设置。start_kernel() --> mm_init --> mem_init()需要注意的是mem_init是跟体系结构相关的函数，比如针对ARM64的实现函数：

原创 Linux内存管理之mem_map对象

在linux内核中，所有的物理内存都用struct page结构来描述，这些对象以数组形式存放，而这个数组的地址就是mem_map。内核以节点node为单位，每个node下的物理内存统一管理，也就是说在表示内存node的描述类型struct pglist_data中，有node_mem_map这个成员，其针对平坦型内存进行描述(CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP)，与此相反的是S
