Vmalloc help

[onsbomma]

Hallo

I am a student computer science on the university of Leuven, Belgium.
For my thesis I am examining some mallocs on there working, performance
and the ways to exploit them (double free, buffer overflow). Vmalloc
(the one of Phong Vo) is one of the malloc I have to describe. I have
the source code, but I was wondering if there are some pictures or
schemes that illustrate the inner design of Vmalloc. I don't understand
the trees.

Thanks in advance,

Hans

I have no idea, but you are also welcome to examine nmalloc
