Abstract
Embodiments for allocating and reclaiming memory using dynamic buffer allocation for a slab memory allocator. The method keeps track of a count of a total number of worker threads and a count of a total number of quiesced threads, and determines if there is any free slab memory. If there is no free slab memory, the method triggers an out of memory event and increments the count of the total number of quiesced threads. It reclaims all objects currently allocated in an object pool, and allocates a buffer of a next smaller size than an original buffer until a sufficient amount of slab memory is freed.
