zsmalloc is a slab-based memory allocator designed to store | |
compressed RAM pages. zsmalloc uses virtual memory mapping | |
in order to reduce fragmentation. However, this results in a | |
non-standard allocator interface where a handle, not a pointer, is | |
returned by an alloc(). This handle must be mapped in order to | |
access the allocated space. |
