Hi, This query is regarding the memory-management allocation strategies adopted by the kernel. I have found that kernel adopts the following strategy at various times:
1. A first-fit allocator (bootmem allocator) 2. A buddy system 3. A slab allocator. Are these the only memory management techniques adopted by the kernel or are there more techniques than these, like, next-fit or best-fit or rover? Secondly, are all the above 3 techniques mutually exclusive or do have some relation with each other. Thanks for your help in understanding this. ~Himanshu Aggarwal
