Abstract

A computing system stores actual memory usage data in a user memory space. The actual memory usage data represents memory usage of a plurality of device drivers that are loaded by a first kernel. The computing system generates an estimate of memory space to be reserved for a second kernel based on the actual memory usage data for the plurality of device drivers that are loaded by the first kernel and reserves memory space for the second kernel using the estimate.
