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 *
52 * See also the comment on struct slab_rcu in mm/slab.c.

168 * The @flags argument may be one of:
169 *
170 * %GFP_USER - Allocate memory on behalf of user. May sleep.
171 *
172 * %GFP_KERNEL - Allocate normal kernel ram. May sleep.
173 *
6193a2ff 174 * %GFP_ATOMIC - Allocation will not sleep. May use emergency pools.
800590f5
PD
175 * For example, use this inside interrupt handlers.
176 *
177 * %GFP_HIGHUSER - Allocate pages from high memory.
178 *
179 * %GFP_NOIO - Do not do any I/O at all while trying to get memory.
180 *
181 * %GFP_NOFS - Do not make any fs calls while trying to get memory.
182 *
6193a2ff

183 * %GFP_NOWAIT - Allocation will not sleep.
184 *
185 * %GFP_THISNODE - Allocate node-local memory only.
186 *
187 * %GFP_DMA - Allocation suitable for DMA.
188 * Should only be used for kmalloc() caches. Otherwise, use a
189 * slab created with SLAB_DMA.
190 *
800590f5
PD
191 * Also it is possible to set different flags by OR'ing
192 * in one or more of the following additional @flags:
193 *
194 * %__GFP_COLD - Request cache-cold pages instead of
195 * trying to return cache-warm pages.
196 *
800590f5
PD
197 * %__GFP_HIGH - This allocation has high priority and may use emergency pools.
198 *
800590f5
PD
199 * %__GFP_NOFAIL - Indicate that this allocation is in no way allowed to fail
200 * (think twice before using).
201 *
202 * %__GFP_NORETRY - If memory is not immediately available,
203 * then give up at once.
204 *
205 * %__GFP_NOWARN - If allocation fails, don't issue any warnings.
206 *
207 * %__GFP_REPEAT - If allocation fails initially, try once more before failing.
