107 * kmalloc - allocate memory
108 * @size: how many bytes of memory are required.
109 * @flags: the type of memory to allocate.
110 *
111 * kmalloc is the normal method of allocating memory
112 * in the kernel.
113 *
114 * The @flags argument may be one of:
115 *
116 * %GFP_USER - Allocate memory on behalf of user. May sleep.
117 *
118 * %GFP_KERNEL - Allocate normal kernel ram. May sleep.
119 *
120 * %GFP_ATOMIC - Allocation will not sleep.
121 * For example, use this inside interrupt handlers.
122 *
123 * %GFP_HIGHUSER - Allocate pages from high memory.
124 *
125 * %GFP_NOIO - Do not do any I/O at all while trying to get memory.
126 *
127 * %GFP_NOFS - Do not make any fs calls while trying to get memory.
128 *
129 * Also it is possible to set different flags by OR'ing
130 * in one or more of the following additional @flags:
131 *
132 * %__GFP_COLD - Request cache-cold pages instead of
133 * trying to return cache-warm pages.
134 *
135 * %__GFP_DMA - Request memory from the DMA-capable zone.
136 *
137 * %__GFP_HIGH - This allocation has high priority and may use emergency pools.
138 *
139 * %__GFP_HIGHMEM - Allocated memory may be from highmem.
140 *
141 * %__GFP_NOFAIL - Indicate that this allocation is in no way allowed to fail
142 * (think twice before using).
143 *
144 * %__GFP_NORETRY - If memory is not immediately available,
145 * then give up at once.
146 *
147 * %__GFP_NOWARN - If allocation fails, don't issue any warnings.
148 *
149 * %__GFP_REPEAT - If allocation fails initially, try once more before failing.
