* SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU - **WARNING** READ THIS!
*
* This delays freeing the SLAB page by a grace period, it does _NOT_
* delay object freeing. This means that if you do kmem_cache_free()
* that memory location is free to be reused at any time. Thus it may
* be possible to see another object there in the same RCU grace period.
*
* This feature only ensures the memory location backing the object
* stays valid, the trick to using this is relying on an independent
* object validation pass. Something like:
*
* rcu_read_lock()
* again:
* obj = lockless_lookup(key);
* if (obj) {
* if (!try_get_ref(obj)) // might fail for free objects
* goto again;
*
* if (obj->key != key) { // not the object we expected
* put_ref(obj);
* goto again;
* }

* rcu_read_unlock();

* kcalloc - allocate memory for an array. The memory is set to zero.
* @n: number of elements.
* @size: element size.
* @flags: the type of memory to allocate.
*
* The @flags argument may be one of:
*
* %GFP_USER - Allocate memory on behalf of user. May sleep.
*
* %GFP_KERNEL - Allocate normal kernel ram. May sleep.
*
* %GFP_ATOMIC - Allocation will not sleep. May use emergency pools.
* For example, use this inside interrupt handlers.
*
* %GFP_HIGHUSER - Allocate pages from high memory.
*
* %GFP_NOIO - Do not do any I/O at all while trying to get memory.
*
* %GFP_NOFS - Do not make any fs calls while trying to get memory.
*
* %GFP_NOWAIT - Allocation will not sleep.
*
* %GFP_THISNODE - Allocate node-local memory only.
*
* %GFP_DMA - Allocation suitable for DMA.
* Should only be used for kmalloc() caches. Otherwise, use a
* slab created with SLAB_DMA.
*
* Also it is possible to set different flags by OR'ing
* in one or more of the following additional @flags:
*
* %__GFP_COLD - Request cache-cold pages instead of
* trying to return cache-warm pages.
*
* %__GFP_HIGH - This allocation has high priority and may use emergency pools.
*
* %__GFP_NOFAIL - Indicate that this allocation is in no way allowed to fail
* (think twice before using).
*
* %__GFP_NORETRY - If memory is not immediately available,
* then give up at once.
*
* %__GFP_NOWARN - If allocation fails, don't issue any warnings.
*
* %__GFP_REPEAT - If allocation fails initially, try once more before failing.
*
* There are other flags available as well, but these are not intended
* for general use, and so are not documented here. For a full list of
* potential flags, always refer to linux/gfp.h.
