Paul Drynoff800590f2006-06-23 02:03:48 -0700137 *
138 * The @flags argument may be one of:
139 *
140 * %GFP_USER - Allocate memory on behalf of user. May sleep.
141 *
142 * %GFP_KERNEL - Allocate normal kernel ram. May sleep.
143 *
Paul Mundt6193a2f2007-07-15 23:38:22 -0700144 * %GFP_ATOMIC - Allocation will not sleep. May use emergency pools.
Paul Drynoff800590f2006-06-23 02:03:48 -0700145 * For example, use this inside interrupt handlers.
146 *
147 * %GFP_HIGHUSER - Allocate pages from high memory.
148 *
149 * %GFP_NOIO - Do not do any I/O at all while trying to get memory.
150 *
151 * %GFP_NOFS - Do not make any fs calls while trying to get memory.
152 *
Paul Mundt6193a2f2007-07-15 23:38:22 -0700153 * %GFP_NOWAIT - Allocation will not sleep.
154 *
155 * %GFP_THISNODE - Allocate node-local memory only.
156 *
157 * %GFP_DMA - Allocation suitable for DMA.
158 * Should only be used for kmalloc() caches. Otherwise, use a
159 * slab created with SLAB_DMA.
160 *
Paul Drynoff800590f2006-06-23 02:03:48 -0700161 * Also it is possible to set different flags by OR'ing
162 * in one or more of the following additional @flags:
163 *
164 * %__GFP_COLD - Request cache-cold pages instead of
165 * trying to return cache-warm pages.
166 *
Paul Drynoff800590f2006-06-23 02:03:48 -0700167 * %__GFP_HIGH - This allocation has high priority and may use emergency pools.
168 *
Paul Drynoff800590f2006-06-23 02:03:48 -0700169 * %__GFP_NOFAIL - Indicate that this allocation is in no way allowed to fail
170 * (think twice before using).
171 *
172 * %__GFP_NORETRY - If memory is not immediately available,
173 * then give up at once.
174 *
175 * %__GFP_NOWARN - If allocation fails, don't issue any warnings.
176 *
177 * %__GFP_REPEAT - If allocation fails initially, try once more before failing.
