* Basic general purpose allocator for managing special purpose * memory, for example, memory that is not managed by the regular * kmalloc/kfree interface. Uses for this includes on-device special * memory, uncached memory etc. * * It is safe to use the allocator in NMI handlers and other special * unblockable contexts that could otherwise deadlock on locks. This * is implemented by using atomic operations and retries on any * conflicts. The disadvantage is that there may be livelocks in * extreme cases. For better scalability, one allocator can be used * for each CPU. * * The lockless operation only works if there is enough memory * available. If new memory is added to the pool a lock has to be * still taken. So any user relying on locklessness has to ensure * that sufficient memory is preallocated. * * The basic atomic operation of this allocator is cmpxchg on long. * On architectures that don't have NMI-safe cmpxchg implementation, * the allocator can NOT be used in NMI handler. So code uses the * allocator in NMI handler should depend on * CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG. |
