Subject: Question about memory map entries
Date: Fri, 29 Jun 2018 16:05:32 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CACgnt78d_-yC0eTE6J-4u8vCkaTo5NYtS23Q-afLh7GBkKMNuQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi everyone

I have a question related to the memory map entries.
Doing some tests, we noticed that if I have an application that has a lot
of allocatepool() and freepool() calls, when this app is closed the amount
of entries returned by the memmap shell commands increases a lot.

Just for reference. This is the mapping before executing the application:

I would like to understand better what causes these entries to be created.
We already checked and there is no memory leak at the code.
What causes these entries to be created?
Can this increase on the memory map entries represent a risk of hanging the
system at the subsequent boot?

Thanks and Regards
Rafael R. Machado
