NAME

mempool_create - create a memory pool

SYNOPSIS

"SYNOPSIS"

mempool_t * mempool_create (int min_nr, mempool_alloc_t * alloc_fn, mempool_free_t * free_fn, void * pool_data);

ARGUMENTS

min_nr: the minimum number of elements guaranteed to be allocated for this pool.
alloc_fn: user-defined element-allocation function.
free_fn: user-defined element-freeing function.
pool_data: optional private data available to the user-defined functions.

DESCRIPTION

this function creates and allocates a guaranteed size, preallocated memory pool. The pool can be used from the mempool_alloc and mempool_free functions. This function might sleep. Both the alloc_fn and the free_fn functions might sleep - as long as the mempool_alloc function is not called from IRQ contexts.
