//! Memory management. //! //! This module deals with managing the address space of userspace processes. Each process has an //! instance of [`Mm`], which keeps track of multiple VMAs (virtual memory areas). Each VMA //! corresponds to a region of memory that the userspace process can access, and the VMA lets you //! control what happens when userspace reads or writes to that region of memory. //! //! C header: [`include/linux/mm.h`](srctree/include/linux/mm.h)
