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()

173 *
Paul Mundt6193a2f2007-07-15 23:38:22 -0700174 * %GFP_ATOMIC - Allocation will not sleep. May use emergency pools.

Paul Drynoff800590f2006-06-23 02:03:48 -0700197 * %__GFP_HIGH - This allocation has high priority and may use emergency pools.

201 *
202 * %__GFP_NORETRY - If memory is not immediately available,
