My point is that you can treat malloc the same as "add shared memory", to some extent, with the same limiations.
Once one of the SLRU buffers is full, it cannot currently allocate from another SLRU buffer's unused memory area. That memory there is plain wasted at that moment. That's my point and the problem the allocator I posted tries to solve.
I fail to see how malloc could help here. malloc() only allocates process-local memory.
