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()

40 * obj = lockless_lookup(key);

166 *
167 * %GFP_USER - Allocate memory on behalf of user. May sleep.
168 *
169 * %GFP_KERNEL - Allocate normal kernel ram. May sleep.
170 *
Paul Mundt6193a2f2007-07-15 23:38:22 -0700171 * %GFP_ATOMIC - Allocation will not sleep. May use emergency pools.
Paul Drynoff800590f2006-06-23 02:03:48 -0700172 * For example, use this inside interrupt handlers.
173 *
174 * %GFP_HIGHUSER - Allocate pages from high memory.
175 *
176 * %GFP_NOIO - Do not do any I/O at all while trying to get memory.
177 *
178 * %GFP_NOFS - Do not make any fs calls while trying to get memory.
179 *
Paul Mundt6193a2f2007-07-15 23:38:22 -0700180 * %GFP_NOWAIT - Allocation will not sleep.

182 * %GFP_THISNODE - Allocate node-local memory only.
183 *
184 * %GFP_DMA - Allocation suitable for DMA.
185 * Should only be used for kmalloc() caches. Otherwise, use a
186 * slab created with SLAB_DMA.
187 *
Paul Drynoff800590f2006-06-23 02:03:48 -0700188 * Also it is possible to set different flags by OR'ing

Paul Drynoff800590f2006-06-23 02:03:48 -0700194 * %__GFP_HIGH - This allocation has high priority and may use emergency pools.
195 *
Paul Drynoff800590f2006-06-23 02:03:48 -0700196 * %__GFP_NOFAIL - Indicate that this allocation is in no way allowed to fail
197 * (think twice before using).
198 *
199 * %__GFP_NORETRY - If memory is not immediately available,
200 * then give up at once.
