15. Role of `mm_struct` in Address Space Management
What is the `mm_struct` and what role does it play in managing a process's address space during the `fork()` system call?
gaurav133232 June 5

mm_struct is the memory layout of a process, including information about each memory segment. It contains pointers to the page tables and lists of virtual memory areas(VMAs).
