Udemy – Linux Kernel Memory Management 2025-5

Linux Kernel Memory Management is a course on how the Linux kernel manages memory allocation, organization, and optimization, published by Udemy Online Academy. This is a specialized course that focuses on teaching the internal mechanisms of how the Linux kernel manages memory allocation, organization, and optimization. Designed for system programmers, kernel developers, and performance engineers, this course provides an in-depth look at the concepts, structures, and code paths that control memory usage in the Linux operating system, enabling individuals to understand and debug low-level performance issues and contribute to kernel development.

In this course, we take you into the world of Linux kernel memory management and explore how the operating system manages memory under the hood – from basic paging to advanced allocation strategies. This course is designed to demystify one of the most complex and critical areas of Linux internals. You will start by understanding how physical and virtual memory is structured in Linux. From there, you’ll explore key kernel components such as memory regions, page tables, slab and slub allocators, the buddy system, and how the kernel maps, allocates, and tracks memory using structures such as vm_area_struct and struct page. Whether you’re an aspiring kernel developer, a systems programmer, or someone who simply wants to go beyond the Linux level, this course will give you the skills and insights to truly master memory at the kernel level.

What you will learn in Linux Kernel Memory Management:

• Understand how memory is structured and managed in the Linux kernel.
•  Learn how Linux manages virtual memory, paging, segmentation, and physical memory mapping.
•  Explore important kernel data structures such as struct page, vm_area_struct, and memory regions.
•  Trace how system calls and user space memory requests are handled in the kernel.
•  And…
