Memory Management

What controls memory management in a Linux system?

[Akyuz_Remzi · Accepted solution]

Memory is controlled by the kernel.
The answer to this question cannot be that simple.
I hope there will be be a friend who will answer with a detailed article about kernel memory management.

In RHEL 8/9, memory management is primarily controlled by the Linux kernel, which handles tasks like allocating and freeing memory, managing virtual memory, and ensuring efficient resource allocation for processes.  Kernel uses systemd to manage resources used by applications.
