Abstract: In one embodiment, a kernel of an operating system receives a request to store a message in a message buffer, which includes a plurality of chunks. Each chunk of the message buffer is associated with a message-occupancy indicator. The kernel determines a start and end position of the message when stored in the message buffer.

Responsive to determining that the message will occupy more than one chunk, the kernel determines each chunk that will contain the message when stored. If a message occupancy-indicator associated with each chunk indicates that at least each chunk after a first chunk associated with the start position is unoccupied, the kernel stores the message in the message buffer and updates the message-occupancy indicator for each chunk containing the stored message.
