0005 Memory Management Guide
0006 =======================
0007
0008 This is a guide to understanding the memory management subsystem
0009 of Linux. If you are looking for advice on simply allocating memory,
0010 see the :ref:`memory_allocation`. For controlling and tuning guides,
0011 see the :doc:`admin guide <../admin-guide/mm/index>`.

0030 Legacy Documentation
0031 ====================
0032
0033 This is a collection of older documents about the Linux memory management
0034 (MM) subsystem internals with different level of details ranging from
0035 notes and mailing list responses for elaborating descriptions of data
0036 structures and algorithms. It should all be integrated nicely into the
0037 above structured documentation, or deleted if it has served its purpose.
