How does the kernel reduce the amount of internal fragmentation caused by allocating memory to structures that are much smaller than a page?

What will be an ideal response?


The slab allocator allocates memory from any one of a number of available slab
caches, which store slabs that serve as a containers for multiple data structures smaller than a
page.This is more efficient than using the zone allocator because the smallest unit of memory
it can supply is a page.
