Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for user-space resource management are described. In one aspect, a method includes receiving in a user memory space kernel resource information from a kernel executing in a kernel memory space, the kernel resource information identifying one or more kernel items in the kernel memory space that depend on kernel resources. The method further includes evaluating one or more resource management policies for one or more of the kernel items. The resource management polices are stored in the user memory space. The method further includes selecting a kernel item to be modified based on the evaluation in order to release some or all of the kernel resources, and communicating a request for modification of the selected kernel item to the kernel.
