27 * SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU - **WARNING** READ THIS!
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.
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:
40 * obj = lockless_lookup(key);
42 * if (!try_get_ref(obj)) // might fail for free objects
45 * if (obj->key != key) { // not the object we expected
52 * See also the comment on struct slab_rcu in mm/slab.c.

173 * kcalloc - allocate memory for an array. The memory is set to zero.
174 * @n: number of elements.
175 * @size: element size.
176 * @flags: the type of memory to allocate.
178 * The @flags argument may be one of:
180 * %GFP_USER - Allocate memory on behalf of user. May sleep.
182 * %GFP_KERNEL - Allocate normal kernel ram. May sleep.
184 * %GFP_ATOMIC - Allocation will not sleep. May use emergency pools.
185 * For example, use this inside interrupt handlers.
187 * %GFP_HIGHUSER - Allocate pages from high memory.
189 * %GFP_NOIO - Do not do any I/O at all while trying to get memory.
191 * %GFP_NOFS - Do not make any fs calls while trying to get memory.
193 * %GFP_NOWAIT - Allocation will not sleep.
195 * %GFP_THISNODE - Allocate node-local memory only.
197 * %GFP_DMA - Allocation suitable for DMA.
198 * Should only be used for kmalloc() caches. Otherwise, use a
199 * slab created with SLAB_DMA.
201 * Also it is possible to set different flags by OR'ing
202 * in one or more of the following additional @flags:
204 * %__GFP_COLD - Request cache-cold pages instead of
205 * trying to return cache-warm pages.
207 * %__GFP_HIGH - This allocation has high priority and may use emergency pools.
209 * %__GFP_NOFAIL - Indicate that this allocation is in no way allowed to fail
210 * (think twice before using).
212 * %__GFP_NORETRY - If memory is not immediately available,
213 * then give up at once.
215 * %__GFP_NOWARN - If allocation fails, don't issue any warnings.
217 * %__GFP_REPEAT - If allocation fails initially, try once more before failing.
219 * There are other flags available as well, but these are not intended
220 * for general use, and so are not documented here. For a full list of
221 * potential flags, always refer to linux/gfp.h.
