With the removal of subchunk size class infrastructure, there are no large size classes that are guaranteed to be re-expandable in place unless munmap() is disabled. Work around these legitimate failures with rallocx() fallback calls. If there were no test configuration for which the xallocx() calls succeeded, it would be important to override the extent hooks for testing purposes, but by default these tests don't use the rallocx() fallbacks on Linux, so test coverage is still sufficient.
jemalloc is a general purpose malloc(3) implementation that emphasizes fragmentation avoidance and scalable concurrency support. jemalloc first came into use as the FreeBSD libc allocator in 2005, and since then it has found its way into numerous applications that rely on its predictable behavior. In 2010 jemalloc development efforts broadened to include developer support features such as heap profiling and extensive monitoring/tuning hooks. Modern jemalloc releases continue to be integrated back into FreeBSD, and therefore versatility remains critical. Ongoing development efforts trend toward making jemalloc among the best allocators for a broad range of demanding applications, and eliminating/mitigating weaknesses that have practical repercussions for real world applications. The COPYING file contains copyright and licensing information. The INSTALL file contains information on how to configure, build, and install jemalloc. The ChangeLog file contains a brief summary of changes for each release. URL: http://www.canonware.com/jemalloc/
