…e it The stockpile allocator is implemented to reduce the burden of handling fault faults in the kernel. It keep allocated memory in the user space. When malloc/memalign is called, it tries to return a candidate matching the requirement to the caller if possible. It is designed to be lock-free; no mutex is involved. It can reduce roughly 55% minor page faults, with a trade-off of using 1.7x memory.
