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