* kmalloc is the normal method of allocating memory
* for objects smaller than page size in the kernel.
*
- * 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.
+ * The @flags argument may be one of the GFP flags defined at
+ * include/linux/gfp.h and described at
+ * :ref:`Documentation/core-api/mm-api.rst <mm-api-gfp-flags>`
*
- * %GFP_ATOMIC - Allocation will not sleep. May use emergency pools.
- * For example, use this inside interrupt handlers.
+ * The recommended usage of the @flags is described at
+ * :ref:`Documentation/core-api/memory-allocation.rst <memory-allocation>`
*
- * %GFP_HIGHUSER - Allocate pages from high memory.
+ * Below is a brief outline of the most useful GFP flags
*
- * %GFP_NOIO - Do not do any I/O at all while trying to get memory.
+ * %GFP_KERNEL
+ * Allocate normal kernel ram. May sleep.
*
- * %GFP_NOFS - Do not make any fs calls while trying to get memory.
+ * %GFP_NOWAIT
+ * Allocation will not sleep.
*
- * %GFP_NOWAIT - Allocation will not sleep.
+ * %GFP_ATOMIC
+ * Allocation will not sleep. May use emergency pools.
*
- * %__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.
+ * %GFP_HIGHUSER
+ * Allocate memory from high memory on behalf of user.
*
* Also it is possible to set different flags by OR'ing
* in one or more of the following additional @flags:
*
- * %__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_HIGH
+ * This allocation has high priority and may use emergency pools.
*
- * %__GFP_NORETRY - If memory is not immediately available,
- * then give up at once.
+ * %__GFP_NOFAIL
+ * Indicate that this allocation is in no way allowed to fail
+ * (think twice before using).
*
- * %__GFP_NOWARN - If allocation fails, don't issue any warnings.
+ * %__GFP_NORETRY
+ * If memory is not immediately available,
+ * then give up at once.
*
- * %__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL - Try really hard to succeed the allocation but fail
- * eventually.
+ * %__GFP_NOWARN
+ * If allocation fails, don't issue any warnings.
*
- * 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.
+ * %__GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL
+ * Try really hard to succeed the allocation but fail
+ * eventually.
