ABSTRACT:
A method, system, device, and article of manufacture for use in a computer memory system utilizing multiple page types, for handling a memory resource request. In a accordance with the method of the invention, a request is received for allocation of pages having a first page type. The first page type has a specified allocation limit. A determination is made in response to the page allocation request of whether the number of allocated pages of the first page type exceeds or is below the allocation limit. In response to determining that the number of allocated pages of said first page type is below the allocation limit, the virtual memory manager enables allocation of pages for the request to exceed the allocation limit.
