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.
137 * The @flags argument may be one of:
139 * %GFP_USER - Allocate memory on behalf of user. May sleep.
141 * %GFP_KERNEL - Allocate normal kernel ram. May sleep.
143 * %GFP_ATOMIC - Allocation will not sleep. May use emergency pools.
144 * For example, use this inside interrupt handlers.
146 * %GFP_HIGHUSER - Allocate pages from high memory.
148 * %GFP_NOIO - Do not do any I/O at all while trying to get memory.
150 * %GFP_NOFS - Do not make any fs calls while trying to get memory.
152 * %GFP_NOWAIT - Allocation will not sleep.
154 * %GFP_THISNODE - Allocate node-local memory only.
156 * %GFP_DMA - Allocation suitable for DMA.
157 * Should only be used for kmalloc() caches. Otherwise, use a
158 * slab created with SLAB_DMA.
160 * Also it is possible to set different flags by OR'ing
161 * in one or more of the following additional @flags:
163 * %__GFP_COLD - Request cache-cold pages instead of
164 * trying to return cache-warm pages.
166 * %__GFP_HIGH - This allocation has high priority and may use emergency pools.
168 * %__GFP_NOFAIL - Indicate that this allocation is in no way allowed to fail
169 * (think twice before using).
171 * %__GFP_NORETRY - If memory is not immediately available,
172 * then give up at once.
174 * %__GFP_NOWARN - If allocation fails, don't issue any warnings.
176 * %__GFP_REPEAT - If allocation fails initially, try once more before failing.
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.
