I don't know what you mean. There is a difference between real
(physical) and virtual addressing, of course. But "logical"?

Any book or book chapter. Use google for "linux kernel memory management".
Rubini's book contains at least a full chapter (I never understood it
myself - something about three level indirection with only two levels
being actually used; but at least the buddy memory manager was clear
and the slab vs slob thing I'm not bothering to follow).
