31 * SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU - **WARNING** READ THIS!
33 * This delays freeing the SLAB page by a grace period, it does _NOT_
34 * delay object freeing. This means that if you do kmem_cache_free()
35 * that memory location is free to be reused at any time. Thus it may
36 * be possible to see another object there in the same RCU grace period.
38 * This feature only ensures the memory location backing the object
39 * stays valid, the trick to using this is relying on an independent
40 * object validation pass. Something like:
42 * rcu_read_lock()
43 * again:
44 * obj = lockless_lookup(key);
45 * if (obj) {
46 * if (!try_get_ref(obj)) // might fail for free objects
47 * goto again;
49 * if (obj->key != key) { // not the object we expected
50 * put_ref(obj);
51 * goto again;
52 * }
53 * }
54 * rcu_read_unlock();
56 * This is useful if we need to approach a kernel structure obliquely,
57 * from its address obtained without the usual locking. We can lock
58 * the structure to stabilize it and check it's still at the given address,
59 * only if we can be sure that the memory has not been meanwhile reused
60 * for some other kind of object (which our subsystem's lock might corrupt).
62 * rcu_read_lock before reading the address, then rcu_read_unlock after
63 * taking the spinlock within the structure expected at that address.

390 * @size: how many bytes of memory are required.
391 * @flags: the type of memory to allocate.
393 * kmalloc is the normal method of allocating memory
394 * for objects smaller than page size in the kernel.
396 * The @flags argument may be one of:
398 * %GFP_USER - Allocate memory on behalf of user. May sleep.
400 * %GFP_KERNEL - Allocate normal kernel ram. May sleep.
402 * %GFP_ATOMIC - Allocation will not sleep. May use emergency pools.
403 * For example, use this inside interrupt handlers.
405 * %GFP_HIGHUSER - Allocate pages from high memory.
407 * %GFP_NOIO - Do not do any I/O at all while trying to get memory.
409 * %GFP_NOFS - Do not make any fs calls while trying to get memory.
411 * %GFP_NOWAIT - Allocation will not sleep.
413 * %GFP_THISNODE - Allocate node-local memory only.
415 * %GFP_DMA - Allocation suitable for DMA.
416 * Should only be used for kmalloc() caches. Otherwise, use a
417 * slab created with SLAB_DMA.
419 * Also it is possible to set different flags by OR'ing
420 * in one or more of the following additional @flags:
422 * %__GFP_COLD - Request cache-cold pages instead of
423 * trying to return cache-warm pages.
425 * %__GFP_HIGH - This allocation has high priority and may use emergency pools.
427 * %__GFP_NOFAIL - Indicate that this allocation is in no way allowed to fail
428 * (think twice before using).
430 * %__GFP_NORETRY - If memory is not immediately available,
431 * then give up at once.
433 * %__GFP_NOWARN - If allocation fails, don't issue any warnings.
435 * %__GFP_REPEAT - If allocation fails initially, try once more before failing.
437 * There are other flags available as well, but these are not intended
438 * for general use, and so are not documented here. For a full list of
439 * potential flags, always refer to linux/gfp.h.
