xvmalloc is a memory allocator designed specifically for ramzswap project.

* Features:
  - Low metadata overhead (just 4 bytes per object)
  - O(1) Alloc/Free - except when we have to call system page allocator to
     get additional memory.
  - Very low fragmentation: In all tests, xvMalloc memory usage is within 12%
     of "Ideal".

One of the main highlights is that it maps pages only when required.
So, it does not hog vmalloc area which is very small on 32-bit systems.

SLUB allocator could not be used due to fragmentation issues:
http://code.google.com/p/compcache/wiki/AllocatorsComparison
Data here shows kmalloc using ~43% more memory than TLSF and xvMalloc
is showed ~2% more space efficiency than TLSF (due to smaller metadata).
Creating various kmem_caches can reduce space efficiency gap but still
problem of being limited to low memory exists. Also, it depends on
allocating higher order pages to reduce fragmentation - this is not
acceptable for ramzswap as it is used under memory crunch (its a swap
device!).

SLOB allocator could not be used do to reasons mentioned here:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/18/210

* Implementation:
It uses two-level bitmap search to find free list containing block of
correct size. This idea is taken from TLSF (Two-Level Segregate Fit)
allocator and is well explained in its paper (see [Links] below).
Highlights:
  - Pool based allocator: each pool can grow/shrink.
  - Immediate coalescing of free blocks.
  - Maps/Unmaps memory pages only when required.

* Limitations:
  - Poor scalability: No per-cpu data structures (work in progress).
