Paul Drynoff800590f2006-06-23 02:03:48 -0700130 *
131 * The @flags argument may be one of:
132 *
133 * %GFP_USER - Allocate memory on behalf of user. May sleep.
134 *
135 * %GFP_KERNEL - Allocate normal kernel ram. May sleep.
136 *
Paul Mundt6193a2f2007-07-15 23:38:22 -0700137 * %GFP_ATOMIC - Allocation will not sleep. May use emergency pools.
Paul Drynoff800590f2006-06-23 02:03:48 -0700138 * For example, use this inside interrupt handlers.
139 *
140 * %GFP_HIGHUSER - Allocate pages from high memory.
141 *
142 * %GFP_NOIO - Do not do any I/O at all while trying to get memory.
143 *
144 * %GFP_NOFS - Do not make any fs calls while trying to get memory.
145 *
Paul Mundt6193a2f2007-07-15 23:38:22 -0700146 * %GFP_NOWAIT - Allocation will not sleep.
147 *
148 * %GFP_THISNODE - Allocate node-local memory only.
149 *
150 * %GFP_DMA - Allocation suitable for DMA.
151 * Should only be used for kmalloc() caches. Otherwise, use a
152 * slab created with SLAB_DMA.
153 *
Paul Drynoff800590f2006-06-23 02:03:48 -0700154 * Also it is possible to set different flags by OR'ing
155 * in one or more of the following additional @flags:
156 *
157 * %__GFP_COLD - Request cache-cold pages instead of
158 * trying to return cache-warm pages.
159 *
Paul Drynoff800590f2006-06-23 02:03:48 -0700160 * %__GFP_HIGH - This allocation has high priority and may use emergency pools.
161 *
Paul Drynoff800590f2006-06-23 02:03:48 -0700162 * %__GFP_NOFAIL - Indicate that this allocation is in no way allowed to fail
163 * (think twice before using).
164 *
165 * %__GFP_NORETRY - If memory is not immediately available,
166 * then give up at once.
167 *
168 * %__GFP_NOWARN - If allocation fails, don't issue any warnings.
169 *
170 * %__GFP_REPEAT - If allocation fails initially, try once more before failing.
