77 * @name: A string which is used in /proc/slabinfo to identify this cache.
78 * @size: The size of objects to be created in this cache.
79 * @align: The required alignment for the objects.
81 * @ctor: A constructor for the objects.
83 * Returns a ptr to the cache on success, NULL on failure.
84 * Cannot be called within a interrupt, but can be interrupted.
85 * The @ctor is run when new pages are allocated by the cache.
89 * %SLAB_POISON - Poison the slab with a known test pattern (a5a5a5a5)
90 * to catch references to uninitialised memory.
92 * %SLAB_RED_ZONE - Insert `Red' zones around the allocated memory to check
93 * for buffer overruns.
95 * %SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN - Align the objects in this cache to a hardware
96 * cacheline. This can be beneficial if you're counting cycles as closely
