 133 * kmalloc - allocate memory
 134 * @size: how many bytes of memory are required.
 135 * @flags: the type of memory to allocate.
 136 *
 137 * kmalloc is the normal method of allocating memory
 138 * in the kernel.
 139 *
 140 * The @flags argument may be one of:
 141 *
 142 * %GFP_USER - Allocate memory on behalf of user.  May sleep.
 143 *
 144 * %GFP_KERNEL - Allocate normal kernel ram.  May sleep.
 145 *
 146 * %GFP_ATOMIC - Allocation will not sleep.
 147 *   For example, use this inside interrupt handlers.
 148 *
 149 * %GFP_HIGHUSER - Allocate pages from high memory.
 150 *
 151 * %GFP_NOIO - Do not do any I/O at all while trying to get memory.
 152 *
 153 * %GFP_NOFS - Do not make any fs calls while trying to get memory.
 154 *
 155 * Also it is possible to set different flags by OR'ing
 156 * in one or more of the following additional @flags:
 157 *
 158 * %__GFP_COLD - Request cache-cold pages instead of
 159 *   trying to return cache-warm pages.
 160 *
 161 * %__GFP_DMA - Request memory from the DMA-capable zone.
 162 *
 163 * %__GFP_HIGH - This allocation has high priority and may use emergency pools.
 164 *
 165 * %__GFP_HIGHMEM - Allocated memory may be from highmem.
 166 *
 167 * %__GFP_NOFAIL - Indicate that this allocation is in no way allowed to fail
 168 *   (think twice before using).
 169 *
 170 * %__GFP_NORETRY - If memory is not immediately available,
 171 *   then give up at once.
 172 *
 173 * %__GFP_NOWARN - If allocation fails, don't issue any warnings.
 174 *
 175 * %__GFP_REPEAT - If allocation fails initially, try once more before failing.
