ABSTRACT:
A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for managing memory blocks. In response to a request to deallocate a memory block from a partition, all processes are prevented from using the memory block. The memory block is isolated from the partition in response to preventing use of the memory block. The memory block is deallocated to form a free memory block.
