Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for maintaining a context stack. A monitor module monitors a stack size after each monitor interval for a stack of a plurality of contexts. Each context defines communications between a process and a data set and comprises a pathway for communicating with the data set and a process identifier. A stack module deallocates a context that satisfies a stack policy from the stack if the stack size is within a buffer threshold of a maximum threshold.
