  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);

  48  *    }

 206  *
 207  * %GFP_HIGHUSER - Allocate pages from high memory.
 208  *
 209  * %GFP_NOIO - Do not do any I/O at all while trying to get memory.
 210  *
 211  * %GFP_NOFS - Do not make any fs calls while trying to get memory.

 218  *   Should only be used for kmalloc() caches. Otherwise, use a
 219  *   slab created with SLAB_DMA.
 220  *
 221  * Also it is possible to set different flags by OR'ing

 223  *
 224  * %__GFP_COLD - Request cache-cold pages instead of
 225  *   trying to return cache-warm pages.
 226  *
 227  * %__GFP_HIGH - This allocation has high priority and may use emergency pools.
 228  *
 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.
 234  *
 235  * %__GFP_NOWARN - If allocation fails, don't issue any warnings.
 236  *
 237  * %__GFP_REPEAT - If allocation fails initially, try once more before failing.
 238  *
