When the memory is almost filled at least once, any subsequent activity leading to substantial slab allocations (e.g. run git gc) will fragment the memory, so that there are virtually no chances to find a continuous GB. It's possible in theory to reduce the fragmentation on 1GB scale by grouping non-movable pageblocks, but it seems a separate project. Thanks! > > 2. Large amount of new code to review.
