20 | * kmem_cache_create - Create a cache. | |
21 | * @name: A string which is used in /proc/slabinfo to identify this cache. | |
22 | * @size: The size of objects to be created in this cache. | |
23 | * @align: The required alignment for the objects. | |
24 | * @flags: SLAB flags | |
25 | * @ctor: A constructor for the objects. | |
26 | * | |
27 | * Returns a ptr to the cache on success, NULL on failure. | |
28 | * Cannot be called within a interrupt, but can be interrupted. | |
29 | * The @ctor is run when new pages are allocated by the cache. | |
30 | * | |
31 | * The flags are | |
32 | * | |
33 | * %SLAB_POISON - Poison the slab with a known test pattern (a5a5a5a5) | |
34 | * to catch references to uninitialised memory. | |
35 | * | |
36 | * %SLAB_RED_ZONE - Insert `Red' zones around the allocated memory to check | |
37 | * for buffer overruns. | |
38 | * | |
39 | * %SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN - Align the objects in this cache to a hardware | |
40 | * cacheline. This can be beneficial if you're counting cycles as closely | |
41 | * as davem. | |
