2  * Basic general purpose allocator for managing special purpose
3  * memory, for example, memory that is not managed by the regular
4  * kmalloc/kfree interface.  Uses for this includes on-device special
5  * memory, uncached memory etc.
6  *
7  * It is safe to use the allocator in NMI handlers and other special
8  * unblockable contexts that could otherwise deadlock on locks.  This
9  * is implemented by using atomic operations and retries on any
10  * conflicts.  The disadvantage is that there may be livelocks in
11  * extreme cases.  For better scalability, one allocator can be used
12  * for each CPU.
13  *
14  * The lockless operation only works if there is enough memory
15  * available.  If new memory is added to the pool a lock has to be
16  * still taken.  So any user relying on locklessness has to ensure
17  * that sufficient memory is preallocated.
18  *
19  * The basic atomic operation of this allocator is cmpxchg on long.
20  * On architectures that don't have NMI-safe cmpxchg implementation,
21  * the allocator can NOT be used in NMI handler.  So code uses the
22  * allocator in NMI handler should depend on
23  * CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG.
24  *
