Need wordsmithing for virtual memory

Latest comment: 2 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

The text If a program tries to access memory that is not in its current range of accessible memory, but nonetheless has been allocated to it, the kernel is interrupted in the same way as it would if the program were to exceed its allocated memory. (See section on memory management.) This kind of interrupt is referred to as a page fault. has multiple issues.

  1. There may be holes in the accessible memory
  2. The interrupt might not be a page fault
  3. A page fault might not be an error.

At first I was planning to just through in a reference to segmentation, but that would not address the other issues. Can someone come up with an accurate and clean rewording that takes into account such issues:

  1. Demand paging
  2. Discontinuous storage allocation
  3. Guard pages for expandable structures
  4. Protection rings
  5. Read only pages and segment
  6. Segmentation

This passage is completely unsourced and therefore the first priority is to rewrite based on reliable sources (as I did above). Wordsmithing is the last step, after sourcing & content. Buidhe paid (talk) 06:32, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
My main concern is accuracy, but I don't want to make the text awkward in the process of correcting it. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz Username:Chatul (talk) 17:56, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
