Kernel-level-Memory-Allocation

LinuxMemoryAllocator

Linux memory allocator from scratch

Trying to implement malloc, calloc, realloc, free here.

Key points:

  1. Have block metadata and linked list of metadata structures
  2. sbrk for low size and mmap for size above a threshold
  3. free will mark the block and will combine.
  4. a request will invoke the pipeline roughly 'linked list search-> split/request to os-> return block'
  5. a free will invoke roughly the pipeline 'mark block -> merge blocks -> return'
