Memory quarantine

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions, wherein the instructions include:

• instructions which, when executed by one or more hardware processors, cause in response to a memory error, determining an extent associated with the memory error, wherein the extent defines an amount of memory comprising a plurality of chunks;
• instructions which, when executed by one or more hardware processors, cause traversing forward from a beginning chunk of the plurality chunks;
• instructions which, when executed by one or more hardware processors, cause determining that a first chunk of the plurality of chunks is corrupt based on the forward traversing;
• instructions which, when executed by one or more hardware processors, cause traversing in reverse from a last chunk of the plurality of chunks;
• instructions which, when executed by one or more hardware processors, cause determining that a second chunk of the plurality of chunks is corrupt based on the reverse traversing;
• instructions which, when executed by one or more hardware processors, cause determining that the second chunk at which the reverse traversing has been performed is separate from the first chunk at which the forward traversing has been performed;
• instructions which, when executed by one or more hardware processors, cause flagging a subset of the plurality of chunks as quarantined, wherein the subset begins with the first chunk and ends with the second chunk;
• and
• instructions which, when executed by one or more hardware processors, cause releasing the subset of the plurality of chunks to prevent the subset from being reallocated after being released.
