summary | At the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit, Mike Rapoport led a session on memory management. He discussed enabling the contents of memory to persist across a kexec handover so that the new kernel can continue where the old one left off. The virtual memory area (VMA) is a crucial abstraction in the kernel's memory-management subsystem. A VMA represents a portion of a process's address space with specific characteristics, represented by struct vm_area_struct. |
