Is there some method or software that could purposely generate a lot of physical memory fragmentations on linux?

Hi, Valdis Klētnieks, Mulyadi Santosa

Thanks to both of you.

I fully understand what you mean by "cause userspace malloc() to have
fragmentation".
I am sorry, maybe I mislead you. I just want there are no available free
high order blocks(i.e
32KB,64KB, 128KB and etc) on the platform.
How can I more efficiently and automatically achieve this goal?
