Method for exchanging modules in operating system by using inheritance buffer presented in virtual space to store inherited information of old module and read by new module thereafter
An operating system (OS) supports logical storage and comprises a framework and a plurality of modules to realize exchange of modules including a memory management module. The OS exchanges modules online and has a logical address space as well as a fixed physical space whose physical addresses and logical addresses are equal to each other, and the fixed physical space has the framework and an inheritance buffer. Information is inherited between old and new modules to be exchanged, by the inheritance buffer.
