Abstract
A method and system in a data processing system are disclosed for the dedication of memory storage locations. The data processing system includes a kernel space for executing software in kernel mode and a user space for executing software in user mode. An interface is established residing in the kernel space for interfacing between the kernel mode and the user mode. A determination is made that an application residing in user space is accessing the interface. In response to the application accessing the interface, a portion of main memory is dedicated for use by the application. The portion of main memory is used only by the application. In this manner, the application has dedicated the portion of main memory from user space.
