102 * Allocators must define at least:
108 * Those wishing to support NUMA must also define:
110 * kmem_cache_alloc_node()
113 * See each allocator definition file for additional comments and

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