Paul Drynoff800590f2006-06-23 02:03:48 -0700128 *
129 * The @flags argument may be one of:
130 *
131 * %GFP_USER - Allocate memory on behalf of user. May sleep.
132 *
133 * %GFP_KERNEL - Allocate normal kernel ram. May sleep.
134 *
Paul Mundt6193a2f2007-07-15 23:38:22 -0700135 * %GFP_ATOMIC - Allocation will not sleep. May use emergency pools.
Paul Drynoff800590f2006-06-23 02:03:48 -0700136 * For example, use this inside interrupt handlers.
137 *
138 * %GFP_HIGHUSER - Allocate pages from high memory.
139 *
140 * %GFP_NOIO - Do not do any I/O at all while trying to get memory.
141 *
142 * %GFP_NOFS - Do not make any fs calls while trying to get memory.
143 *
Paul Mundt6193a2f2007-07-15 23:38:22 -0700144 * %GFP_NOWAIT - Allocation will not sleep.
145 *
146 * %GFP_THISNODE - Allocate node-local memory only.
147 *
148 * %GFP_DMA - Allocation suitable for DMA.
149 * Should only be used for kmalloc() caches. Otherwise, use a
150 * slab created with SLAB_DMA.
151 *
Paul Drynoff800590f2006-06-23 02:03:48 -0700152 * Also it is possible to set different flags by OR'ing
153 * in one or more of the following additional @flags:
154 *
155 * %__GFP_COLD - Request cache-cold pages instead of
156 * trying to return cache-warm pages.
157 *
Paul Drynoff800590f2006-06-23 02:03:48 -0700158 * %__GFP_HIGH - This allocation has high priority and may use emergency pools.
159 *
Paul Drynoff800590f2006-06-23 02:03:48 -0700160 * %__GFP_NOFAIL - Indicate that this allocation is in no way allowed to fail
161 * (think twice before using).
162 *
163 * %__GFP_NORETRY - If memory is not immediately available,
164 * then give up at once.
165 *
166 * %__GFP_NOWARN - If allocation fails, don't issue any warnings.
167 *
168 * %__GFP_REPEAT - If allocation fails initially, try once more before failing.
