* kmalloc - allocate memory
|
||||
* __do_kmalloc - allocate memory
|
||||
* @size: how many bytes of memory are required.
|
||||
* @flags: the type of memory to allocate.
|
||||
* @flags: the type of memory to allocate (see kmalloc).
|
||||
* @caller: function caller for debug tracking of the caller
|
||||
*
|
||||
* kmalloc is the normal method of allocating memory
|
||||
* in the kernel.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* The @flags argument may be one of:
|
||||
*
|
||||
* %GFP_USER - Allocate memory on behalf of user. May sleep.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* %GFP_KERNEL - Allocate normal kernel ram. May sleep.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* %GFP_ATOMIC - Allocation will not sleep. Use inside interrupt handlers.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Additionally, the %GFP_DMA flag may be set to indicate the memory
|
||||
* must be suitable for DMA. This can mean different things on different
|
||||
* platforms. For example, on i386, it means that the memory must come
|
||||
* from the first 16MB.
