Restore bookkeeping data structures across program runs

[Wong, Daniel]

Hi,
I noticed that when jemalloc initializes, book keeping data structures are stored to main memory. When I enable swap, any new allocations to book keeping data structures (for example, the red black tree) are in the swap area. I want to modify jemalloc so that I can restore the book keeping data structures from the swap file across program runs so that I can still call free(), etc. I’m currently trying to see if calling chunk_swap_enable before malloc_init_hard would do the trick, but this seems really hackish. Do you have a suggestion for a better approach? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.
