I understood previously that everything always pays for its own storage. That sounds good. However, I don't see how this can work. There is a top level memory supply (called "prime space bank" if I remember correctly). I guess this space bank will give out parts of its storage to anyone holding a capability allowing them. How is this recorded? What happens when the client is destroyed? That can happen without notifying the prime space bank. I'm sure the prime space bank has some way to know that it can give out the memory to an other process, but I don't see how. Could you please explain this?
