US12259793B2	Allocating system RDP metadata space with IO performance priority Memory management processes allocate and recycle pages of replication data pointer (RDP) metadata space in shared memory. When the RDP page currently allocated to an IO thread becomes full, that RDP page is released, and a new RDP page is allocated to the IO thread. The released page eventually becomes fragmented and is added to a list of RDP pages that are ranked based on partial fullness. An IO thread that needs a new RDP page is allocated a mostly empty RDP page from the ranked list, if such a page is available. Otherwise, a new completely empty RDP page is allocated to the IO thread. Use of the ranked lists reduces latency associated with allocation of new RDP pages. Contention between IO threads for RDP metadata space is reduced because each IO thread has exclusive rights to the free RDP metadata space in its currently allocated page.
