How to swap out (to swap area) page frames a process use?

entertainyou · 11-13-2009, 01:49 AM

Hi,there.I am trying to write a module to swap out page frames a process use to the swap area,for kernel 2.6.28.

I've done some work,mostly by reading the "Understanding in linux kernel",which is kinda out-dated.I've found the unuse_mm function which maybe useful,can anybody tell me how to use this function(how to initialize the parameters pass to unuse_mm)? or point out something may be helpful to me?

Thx,please help.

The virtual-memory manager automatically does that, on-demand and when necessary. Don't monkey with it.

Let's not talk about meanings of doing this.
I just want to get some helps for this.

Thanks anyway.
