188The effective limit is returned to the caller, as it may end up being higher 189than requested due to the implementation rounding up to ensure all memory pages 190allocated to the zone are utilised to capacity. |
191The limit applies to the total number of items in the zone, which includes 192allocated items, free items and free items in the per-cpu caches. 193On systems with more than one CPU it may not be possible to allocate 194the specified number of items even when there is no shortage of memory, 195because all of the remaining free items may be in the caches of the 196other CPUs when the limit is hit. 197.Pp 198The --- 37 unchanged lines hidden --- |
