这个这真不是一句俩句能说清的...物理内存分成4KB或者4MB的块,每个块对应一个类型为page的结构,定义在include/linux/mm.h中。这些块分成了三类,DMA,NORMAL,HIGHMEM
在说逻辑地址的分配,地址空间的第四个G是kernel可见的逻辑地址,分配如下0-15MB,都留给DMA,16MB-895留给NORMAL,896MB-1023MB用于HIGHMEM。
下面是page接口的定义,你要的东西应该在这个结构里
struct page {
unsigned long flags; /* Atomic flags, some possibly
* updated asynchronously */
atomic_t _count; /* Usage count, see below. */
atomic_t _mapcount; /* Count of ptes mapped in mms,
* to show when page is mapped
* & limit reverse map searches.
*/
union {
struct {
unsigned long private; /* Mapping-private opaque data:
* usually used for buffer_heads
* if PagePrivate set; used for
* swp_entry_t if PageSwapCache;
* indicates order in the buddy
* system if PG_buddy is set.
*/
struct address_space *mapping; /* If low bit clear, points to
* inode address_space, or NULL.
* If page mapped as anonymous
* memory, low bit is set, and
* it points to anon_vma object:
* see PAGE_MAPPING_ANON below.
*/
};
#if NR_CPUS >= CONFIG_SPLIT_PTLOCK_CPUS
spinlock_t ptl;
#endif
};
pgoff_t index; /* Our offset within mapping. */
struct list_head lru; /* Pageout list, eg. active_list
* protected by zone->lru_lock !
*/
/*
* On machines where all RAM is mapped into kernel address space,
* we can simply calculate the virtual address. On machines with
* highmem some memory is mapped into kernel virtual memory
* dynamically, so we need a place to store that address.
* Note that this field could be 16 bits on x86 ... ;)
*
* Architectures with slow multiplication can define
* WANT_PAGE_VIRTUAL in asm/page.h
*/
#if defined(WANT_PAGE_VIRTUAL)
void *virtual; /* Kernel virtual address (NULL if
not kmapped, ie. highmem) */
#endif /* WANT_PAGE_VIRTUAL */
};
