Why is Active Memory Defragmentation needed? (Reference : Paper by Daniel Phillips , titled "Patch:My research agenda for 2.7").
Is there any case or example of the Linux memory allocator (buddy allocator) failing due to memory fragmentation? If yes,what sorts of programs or applications cause this failure? Could anyone kindly supply me with statistical data & arguments to justify the need for Active Memory Defragmentation?
