ABSTRACT:
A method for allocating memory in a computer system is disclosed. The method includes creating a kernel memory class, the kernel memory class acting as a logical container for at least a first kernel memory resource group. The method further includes processing a kernel client's request for additional memory by ascertaining whether there is sufficient free memory in the first kernel memory resource group to accommodate the kernel client's request. The method additionally includes denying the kernel client's request if there is insufficient free memory in the first kernel memory resource group to accommodate the kernel client's request.
