110 * kmem_cache_alloc()
111 * __kmalloc()
112 * kmalloc()
114 * Those wishing to support NUMA must also define:

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