Genp Linux | !free!

#include <genp.h> int main() // Create a partition with 2MB private + 1MB borrow limit genp_partition_t *part = genp_create(2 * 1024 * 1024, 1 * 1024 * 1024);

genp_free(part, private_buf); genp_destroy(part); genp linux

// Borrow from global pool (temporary) void *borrowed = genp_borrow(part, 256 * 1024, 100); // 100 ms timeout #include &lt;genp

The kernel ensures that if genp_return() is not called within 100 ms, the global reclaim thread forcefully revokes the memory—even if it means invalidating the process’s mapping (handled via SIGSEGV recovery in safe designs). You might think: “Can’t cgroups limit memory and mlockall() lock pages?” // Allocate from private partition heap void *private_buf

If you are working on safety-critical systems (automotive, avionics, medical devices) or need ultra-low latency without sacrificing CPU utilization, GenP deserves your attention. Generalized Partitioning is a memory and resource management strategy that combines the predictability of static partitioning with the flexibility of dynamic allocation .

// Allocate from private partition heap void *private_buf = genp_alloc(part, 512 * 1024);

Here’s a simplified architecture:
