Introduction
Similar to applications, the kernel operates in virtual address space and has limits based on the available virtual address space, the system committed memory, and the amount of physical memory of the system. Figure 5.1 highlights the kernel-mode virtual address space. This chapter discusses how to detect and investigate problems with kernel virtual address space and how it relates to system committed memory and physical memory.
