/***************************************************************************
 * Linear allocator for short-lived allocations.
 ***************************************************************************
 *
 * The allocator consists of a parent node (2K buffer), which requires
 * a ralloc parent, and child nodes (allocations). Child nodes can't be freed
 * directly, because the parent doesn't track them. You have to release
 * the parent node in order to release all its children.
 *
 * The allocator uses a fixed-sized buffer with a monotonically increasing
 * offset after each allocation. If the buffer is all used, another buffer
 * is allocated, sharing the same ralloc parent, so all buffers are at
 * the same level in the ralloc hierarchy.
 *
 * The linear parent node is always the first buffer and keeps track of all
 * other buffers.
