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.
