  27  * kmem_cache_create - Create a cache.
  28  * @name: A string which is used in /proc/slabinfo to identify this cache.
  29  * @size: The size of objects to be created in this cache.
  30  * @align: The required alignment for the objects.
  31  * @flags: SLAB flags
  32  * @ctor: A constructor for the objects.
  33  *
  34  * Returns a ptr to the cache on success, NULL on failure.
  35  * Cannot be called within a interrupt, but can be interrupted.
  36  * The @ctor is run when new pages are allocated by the cache.
  37  *
  38  * The flags are
  39  *
  40  * %SLAB_POISON - Poison the slab with a known test pattern (a5a5a5a5)
  41  * to catch references to uninitialised memory.
  42  *
  43  * %SLAB_RED_ZONE - Insert `Red' zones around the allocated memory to check
  44  * for buffer overruns.
  45  *
  46  * %SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN - Align the objects in this cache to a hardware
  47  * cacheline.  This can be beneficial if you're counting cycles as closely
  48  * as davem.
