  27 * SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU - **WARNING** READ THIS!
  28 *
  29 * This delays freeing the SLAB page by a grace period, it does _NOT_
  30 * delay object freeing. This means that if you do kmem_cache_free()
  31 * that memory location is free to be reused at any time. Thus it may
  32 * be possible to see another object there in the same RCU grace period.
  33 *
  34 * This feature only ensures the memory location backing the object
  35 * stays valid, the trick to using this is relying on an independent
  36 * object validation pass. Something like:
  37 *
  38 *  rcu_read_lock()
  39 * again:
  40 *  obj = lockless_lookup(key);
  41 *  if (obj) {
  42 *    if (!try_get_ref(obj)) // might fail for free objects
  43 *      goto again;
  44 *
  45 *    if (obj->key != key) { // not the object we expected
  46 *      put_ref(obj);
  47 *      goto again;
  48 *    }
  49 *  }
  50 *  rcu_read_unlock();
  51 *

 161 * kcalloc - allocate memory for an array. The memory is set to zero.
 162 * @n: number of elements.
 163 * @size: element size.
 164 * @flags: the type of memory to allocate.
 165 *
 166 * The @flags argument may be one of:
 167 *
 168 * %GFP_USER - Allocate memory on behalf of user.  May sleep.
 169 *
 170 * %GFP_KERNEL - Allocate normal kernel ram.  May sleep.
 171 *
 172 * %GFP_ATOMIC - Allocation will not sleep.  May use emergency pools.
 173 *   For example, use this inside interrupt handlers.
 174 *
 175 * %GFP_HIGHUSER - Allocate pages from high memory.
 176 *
 177 * %GFP_NOIO - Do not do any I/O at all while trying to get memory.
 178 *
 179 * %GFP_NOFS - Do not make any fs calls while trying to get memory.
 180 *
 181 * %GFP_NOWAIT - Allocation will not sleep.
 182 *
 183 * %GFP_THISNODE - Allocate node-local memory only.
 184 *
 185 * %GFP_DMA - Allocation suitable for DMA.
 186 *   Should only be used for kmalloc() caches. Otherwise, use a
 187 *   slab created with SLAB_DMA.
 188 *
 189 * Also it is possible to set different flags by OR'ing
 190 * in one or more of the following additional @flags:
 191 *
 192 * %__GFP_COLD - Request cache-cold pages instead of
 193 *   trying to return cache-warm pages.
 194 *
 195 * %__GFP_HIGH - This allocation has high priority and may use emergency pools.
 196 *
 197 * %__GFP_NOFAIL - Indicate that this allocation is in no way allowed to fail
 198 *   (think twice before using).
 199 *
 200 * %__GFP_NORETRY - If memory is not immediately available,
 201 *   then give up at once.
 202 *
 203 * %__GFP_NOWARN - If allocation fails, don't issue any warnings.
 204 *
 205 * %__GFP_REPEAT - If allocation fails initially, try once more before failing.
 206 *
 207 * There are other flags available as well, but these are not intended
 208 * for general use, and so are not documented here. For a full list of
 209 * potential flags, always refer to linux/gfp.h.
