101 * Fallback definitions for an allocator not wanting to provide
102 * its own optimized kmalloc definitions (like SLOB).
106 * kmalloc - allocate memory
107 * @size: how many bytes of memory are required.
108 * @flags: the type of memory to allocate.
110 * kmalloc is the normal method of allocating memory
113 * The @flags argument may be one of:
115 * %GFP_USER - Allocate memory on behalf of user. May sleep.
117 * %GFP_KERNEL - Allocate normal kernel ram. May sleep.
119 * %GFP_ATOMIC - Allocation will not sleep.
120 * For example, use this inside interrupt handlers.
122 * %GFP_HIGHUSER - Allocate pages from high memory.
124 * %GFP_NOIO - Do not do any I/O at all while trying to get memory.
126 * %GFP_NOFS - Do not make any fs calls while trying to get memory.
128 * Also it is possible to set different flags by OR'ing
129 * in one or more of the following additional @flags:
131 * %__GFP_COLD - Request cache-cold pages instead of
132 * trying to return cache-warm pages.
134 * %__GFP_DMA - Request memory from the DMA-capable zone.
136 * %__GFP_HIGH - This allocation has high priority and may use emergency pools.
138 * %__GFP_HIGHMEM - Allocated memory may be from highmem.
140 * %__GFP_NOFAIL - Indicate that this allocation is in no way allowed to fail
141 * (think twice before using).
143 * %__GFP_NORETRY - If memory is not immediately available,
144 * then give up at once.
146 * %__GFP_NOWARN - If allocation fails, don't issue any warnings.
148 * %__GFP_REPEAT - If allocation fails initially, try once more before failing.
