2 * Basic general purpose allocator for managing special purpose
3 * memory, for example, memory that is not managed by the regular
4 * kmalloc/kfree interface. Uses for this includes on-device special
5 * memory, uncached memory etc.
7 * It is safe to use the allocator in NMI handlers and other special
8 * unblockable contexts that could otherwise deadlock on locks. This
9 * is implemented by using atomic operations and retries on any
10 * conflicts. The disadvantage is that there may be livelocks in
11 * extreme cases. For better scalability, one allocator can be used
14 * The lockless operation only works if there is enough memory
15 * available. If new memory is added to the pool a lock has to be
16 * still taken. So any user relying on locklessness has to ensure
17 * that sufficient memory is preallocated.
19 * The basic atomic operation of this allocator is cmpxchg on long.
20 * On architectures that don't have NMI-safe cmpxchg implementation,
21 * the allocator can NOT be used in NMI handler. So code uses the
22 * allocator in NMI handler should depend on
23 * CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG.
