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.

PD
229 * %__GFP_NOFAIL - Indicate that this allocation is in no way allowed to fail
230 * (think twice before using).
231 *
232 * %__GFP_NORETRY - If memory is not immediately available,
233 * then give up at once.
