NAME
- kmem_cache_alloc_node - Allocate an object on the speci
- fied node
SYNOPSIS
void * kmem_cache_alloc_node(struct kmem_cache * cachep,
gfp_t flags, int nodeid);
ARGUMENTS
- cachep
- The cache to allocate from.
- flags
- See kmalloc.
- nodeid
- node number of the target node.
DESCRIPTION
- Identical to kmem_cache_alloc, except that this function
- is slow and can sleep. And it will allocate memory on the given
- node, which can improve the performance for cpu bound structures.
NEW AND IMPROVED
- it will now make sure that the object gets put on the cor
- rect node list so that there is no false sharing.
