Abstract
A method for memory quarantine comprises: in response to a memory error, determining an extent associated with the memory error, wherein the extent defines an amount of memory comprising a plurality of chunks; traversing, forward from a beginning chunk of the plurality chunks, the plurality of chunks until a first chunk is determined to be corrupt; traversing, in reverse from a last chunk of the plurality of chunks, the plurality of chunks until a second chunk is determine to be corrupt; flagging a subset of the plurality of chunks as quarantined, wherein the subset begins with the first chunk and ends with the second chunk, and wherein quarantine prevents the subset from being reallocated after being released.
