It does not aim to provide in-depth description of the mm internals, but rather help unprepared reader to understand cryptic texts, e.g. Documentation/sysctl/vm.txt. I covered what seemed to me the essential minimum that is required for user/administrator to read the existing docs without searching the web for the explanations for every other term. -- Sincerely yours, Mike.
