27 * SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU - **WARNING** READ THIS!
28 *
29 * This delays freeing the SLAB page by a grace period, it does _NOT_
30 * delay object freeing. This means that if you do kmem_cache_free()
31 * that memory location is free to be reused at any time. Thus it may
32 * be possible to see another object there in the same RCU grace period.
33 *
34 * This feature only ensures the memory location backing the object
35 * stays valid, the trick to using this is relying on an independent
36 * object validation pass. Something like:
37 *
38 * rcu_read_lock()

Xi Wanga8203722012-03-05 15:14:41 -0800216 * kmalloc_array - allocate memory for an array.
Christoph Lameter2e892f42006-12-13 00:34:23 -0800217 * @n: number of elements.

219 * @flags: the type of memory to allocate.
Paul Drynoff800590f2006-06-23 02:03:48 -0700220 *
221 * The @flags argument may be one of:
222 *
223 * %GFP_USER - Allocate memory on behalf of user. May sleep.
224 *
225 * %GFP_KERNEL - Allocate normal kernel ram. May sleep.
226 *
Paul Mundt6193a2f2007-07-15 23:38:22 -0700227 * %GFP_ATOMIC - Allocation will not sleep. May use emergency pools.
Paul Drynoff800590f2006-06-23 02:03:48 -0700228 * For example, use this inside interrupt handlers.
229 *
230 * %GFP_HIGHUSER - Allocate pages from high memory.
231 *
232 * %GFP_NOIO - Do not do any I/O at all while trying to get memory.
233 *
234 * %GFP_NOFS - Do not make any fs calls while trying to get memory.
235 *
Paul Mundt6193a2f2007-07-15 23:38:22 -0700236 * %GFP_NOWAIT - Allocation will not sleep.
237 *
238 * %GFP_THISNODE - Allocate node-local memory only.
239 *
240 * %GFP_DMA - Allocation suitable for DMA.
241 * Should only be used for kmalloc() caches. Otherwise, use a
242 * slab created with SLAB_DMA.
243 *
Paul Drynoff800590f2006-06-23 02:03:48 -0700244 * Also it is possible to set different flags by OR'ing
245 * in one or more of the following additional @flags:
246 *
247 * %__GFP_COLD - Request cache-cold pages instead of
248 * trying to return cache-warm pages.
249 *
Paul Drynoff800590f2006-06-23 02:03:48 -0700250 * %__GFP_HIGH - This allocation has high priority and may use emergency pools.
251 *
Paul Drynoff800590f2006-06-23 02:03:48 -0700252 * %__GFP_NOFAIL - Indicate that this allocation is in no way allowed to fail
253 * (think twice before using).
254 *
255 * %__GFP_NORETRY - If memory is not immediately available,
256 * then give up at once.
257 *
258 * %__GFP_NOWARN - If allocation fails, don't issue any warnings.
259 *
260 * %__GFP_REPEAT - If allocation fails initially, try once more before failing.
Paul Mundt6193a2f2007-07-15 23:38:22 -0700261 *
262 * There are other flags available as well, but these are not intended

264 * potential flags, always refer to linux/gfp.h.
