hi, Can't we do rellocation of memory as we do in user space by malloc,realloc family etc. Thanks in advance Prasanna
malloc() and realloc() are in userland ;) search : kmalloc on the web.
And it caches partialy created objects like vnodes, dentry
So if partialy created objects are recycled , realloc is never needed since cached objects never change size .
Have a good day.
