100 * kcalloc - allocate memory for an array. The memory is set to zero.
101 * @n: number of elements.
102 * @size: element size.
103 * @flags: the type of memory to allocate.
104 *
105 * The @flags argument may be one of:
106 *
107 * %GFP_USER - Allocate memory on behalf of user. May sleep.
108 *
109 * %GFP_KERNEL - Allocate normal kernel ram. May sleep.
110 *
111 * %GFP_ATOMIC - Allocation will not sleep. May use emergency pools.
112 * For example, use this inside interrupt handlers.
113 *
114 * %GFP_HIGHUSER - Allocate pages from high memory.
115 *
116 * %GFP_NOIO - Do not do any I/O at all while trying to get memory.
117 *
118 * %GFP_NOFS - Do not make any fs calls while trying to get memory.
119 *
120 * %GFP_NOWAIT - Allocation will not sleep.
121 *
122 * %GFP_THISNODE - Allocate node-local memory only.
123 *
124 * %GFP_DMA - Allocation suitable for DMA.
125 * Should only be used for kmalloc() caches. Otherwise, use a
126 * slab created with SLAB_DMA.
127 *
128 * Also it is possible to set different flags by OR'ing
129 * in one or more of the following additional @flags:
130 *
131 * %__GFP_COLD - Request cache-cold pages instead of
132 * trying to return cache-warm pages.
133 *
134 * %__GFP_HIGH - This allocation has high priority and may use emergency pools.
135 *
136 * %__GFP_NOFAIL - Indicate that this allocation is in no way allowed to fail
137 * (think twice before using).
138 *
139 * %__GFP_NORETRY - If memory is not immediately available,
140 * then give up at once.
141 *
142 * %__GFP_NOWARN - If allocation fails, don't issue any warnings.
143 *
144 * %__GFP_REPEAT - If allocation fails initially, try once more before failing.
145 *
146 * There are other flags available as well, but these are not intended
147 * for general use, and so are not documented here. For a full list of
148 * potential flags, always refer to linux/gfp.h.
