I meant is there something in Linux akin in *functionality* to the zones of FreeBSD? So, in Linux, the name might not be "zones" but the functionality should be the same as the zones of FreeBSD. To answer this question, one should know what zones in FreeBSD are, quite well. So, for example, zone allocation is really fast because large memory is pre-allocated and is kept as a linked list of free elements, and you cannot really free a zone to the system till all elements of that zone are free etc.(I dont know a lot about zones myself, otherwise I wouldnt need to ask this question). Something in Linux which achives the same result... And I think there are a few people(who were) involved in Linux development on this list, so I posted it here.
