How the Kernel handles both the page stealer and the fault handler?

Question

Hello
How the Kernel handles both the page stealer and the fault handler?
please reply me. i am waiting for your reply.
Thanx

Answer 1

The page stealer and the fault handler thrash because of the shortage of the memory. If the sum of the working sets of all processes is greater that the physical memory then the fault handler will usually sleep because it cannot allocate pages for a process. This results in the reduction of the system throughput because Kernel spends too much time in overhead, rearranging the memory in the frantic pace.
