That was a great writeup, thanks. The author has a real talent for writing engaging explanations. I've been making my way through The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD operating System[1], which is a bit denser and more formal. It was nice to read about some of the same ideas in a different implementation. I'd recommend the book to anybody who enjoyed the post.
