 128  * @size: element size.
 129  * @flags: the type of memory to allocate.
 130  *
 131  * The @flags argument may be one of:
 132  *
 133  * %GFP_USER - Allocate memory on behalf of user.  May sleep.
 134  *
 135  * %GFP_KERNEL - Allocate normal kernel ram.  May sleep.
 136  *
 137  * %GFP_ATOMIC - Allocation will not sleep.  May use emergency pools.
 138  *   For example, use this inside interrupt handlers.
 139  *
 140  * %GFP_HIGHUSER - Allocate pages from high memory.
 141  *
 142  * %GFP_NOIO - Do not do any I/O at all while trying to get memory.
 143  *
 144  * %GFP_NOFS - Do not make any fs calls while trying to get memory.
 145  *
 146  * %GFP_NOWAIT - Allocation will not sleep.
 147  *
 148  * %GFP_THISNODE - Allocate node-local memory only.
 149  *
 150  * %GFP_DMA - Allocation suitable for DMA.
 151  *   Should only be used for kmalloc() caches. Otherwise, use a
 152  *   slab created with SLAB_DMA.
 153  *
 154  * Also it is possible to set different flags by OR'ing
 155  * in one or more of the following additional @flags:
 156  *
 157  * %__GFP_COLD - Request cache-cold pages instead of
 158  *   trying to return cache-warm pages.
 159  *
 160  * %__GFP_HIGH - This allocation has high priority and may use emergency pools.
 161  *
 162  * %__GFP_NOFAIL - Indicate that this allocation is in no way allowed to fail
 163  *   (think twice before using).
 164  *
 165  * %__GFP_NORETRY - If memory is not immediately available,
 166  *   then give up at once.
 167  *
 168  * %__GFP_NOWARN - If allocation fails, don't issue any warnings.
 169  *
 170  * %__GFP_REPEAT - If allocation fails initially, try once more before failing.
 171  *
 172  * There are other flags available as well, but these are not intended
 173  * for general use, and so are not documented here. For a full list of
 174  * potential flags, always refer to linux/gfp.h.
