  • Patent number: 6112286
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for reverse mapping a page of memory to one or more data structure references, such as page table entries, that reference the page of memory. A number m of fields of a page frame data structure are reserved for storing reverse mapping data for a page of memory. Each reserved field can store a reverse map entry for pointing to a data structure reference, such as a page table entry, that references the page of memory that is represented by the page frame data structure. Where a number n of references to the page of memory is greater than the number m of reserved fields, a reverse map table is generated for storing additional reverse map entries. When a reverse map table is generated, one of the reverse map entries in one of the reserved fields of the page frame data structure is moved to the reverse map table. A pointer to the reverse map table is placed in the now-vacant reserved field.
