98 * ways to convert kmalloc() calls to kmem_cache_alloc() invocations by
99 * selecting the appropriate general cache at compile time.
101 * Allocators must define at least:
103 * kmem_cache_alloc()
104 * __kmalloc()
105 * kmalloc()
107 * Those wishing to support NUMA must also define:
109 * kmem_cache_alloc_node()
110 * kmalloc_node()
112 * See each allocator definition file for additional comments and
113 * implementation notes.

124 * kcalloc - allocate memory for an array. The memory is set to zero.
125 * @n: number of elements.
126 * @size: element size.
127 * @flags: the type of memory to allocate.
129 * The @flags argument may be one of:
131 * %GFP_USER - Allocate memory on behalf of user. May sleep.
133 * %GFP_KERNEL - Allocate normal kernel ram. May sleep.
135 * %GFP_ATOMIC - Allocation will not sleep. May use emergency pools.
136 * For example, use this inside interrupt handlers.
138 * %GFP_HIGHUSER - Allocate pages from high memory.
140 * %GFP_NOIO - Do not do any I/O at all while trying to get memory.
142 * %GFP_NOFS - Do not make any fs calls while trying to get memory.
144 * %GFP_NOWAIT - Allocation will not sleep.
146 * %GFP_THISNODE - Allocate node-local memory only.
148 * %GFP_DMA - Allocation suitable for DMA.
149 * Should only be used for kmalloc() caches. Otherwise, use a
150 * slab created with SLAB_DMA.
152 * Also it is possible to set different flags by OR'ing
153 * in one or more of the following additional @flags:
155 * %__GFP_COLD - Request cache-cold pages instead of
156 * trying to return cache-warm pages.
158 * %__GFP_HIGH - This allocation has high priority and may use emergency pools.
160 * %__GFP_NOFAIL - Indicate that this allocation is in no way allowed to fail
161 * (think twice before using).
163 * %__GFP_NORETRY - If memory is not immediately available,
164 * then give up at once.
166 * %__GFP_NOWARN - If allocation fails, don't issue any warnings.
168 * %__GFP_REPEAT - If allocation fails initially, try once more before failing.
170 * There are other flags available as well, but these are not intended
171 * for general use, and so are not documented here. For a full list of
172 * potential flags, always refer to linux/gfp.h.
