The second expansion attempt in large_ralloc_no_move omitted the ! before large_ralloc_no_move_expand(), inverting the return value. On expansion failure, the function falsely reported success, making callers believe the allocation was expanded in-place when it was not. On expansion success, the function falsely reported failure, causing callers to unnecessarily allocate, copy, and free. Add unit test that verifies the return value matches actual size change.
jemalloc is a general purpose malloc(3) implementation that emphasizes fragmentation avoidance and scalable concurrency support. jemalloc first came into use as the FreeBSD libc allocator in 2005, and since then it has found its way into numerous applications that rely on its predictable behavior. In 2010 jemalloc development efforts broadened to include developer support features such as heap profiling and extensive monitoring/tuning hooks. Modern jemalloc releases continue to be integrated back into FreeBSD, and therefore versatility remains critical. Ongoing development efforts trend toward making jemalloc among the best allocators for a broad range of demanding applications, and eliminating/mitigating weaknesses that have practical repercussions for real world applications.
