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.
