31This is a collection of unsorted documents about the Linux memory management
32(MM) subsystem internals with different level of details ranging from notes and
33mailing list responses for elaborating descriptions of data structures and
34algorithms. It should all be integrated nicely into the above structured
35documentation, or deleted if it has served its purpose.
