1. First Fit分配器
First Fit分配器是最基本的内存分配器,它使用bitmap而不是空闲块列表来表示内存。在bitmap中,如果page对应位为1,则表示此page已经被分配,为0则表示此page没有被分配。为了分配小于一个page的内存块,First Fit分配器记录了最后被分配的PFN (Page Frame Number)和分配的结束地址在页内的偏移量。随后小的内存分配被Merge到一起并存储到同一页中。
First Fit分配器不会造成严重的内存碎片,但其效率较低,由于内存经常通过线性地址进行search,而First Fit中的小块内存经常在物理内存的开始处,为了分配大块内存而不得不扫描前面大量的内存。
