30Legacy Documentation
31====================
32
33This is a collection of older documents about the Linux memory management
34(MM) subsystem internals with different level of details ranging from
35notes and mailing list responses for elaborating descriptions of data
36structures and algorithms.  It should all be integrated nicely into the
37above structured documentation, or deleted if it has served its purpose.
