SYNOPSIS

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

ARGUMENTS

13       min_nr
14           the minimum number of elements guaranteed to be allocated for this
15           pool.
16
17       alloc_fn
18           user-defined element-allocation function.

20       free_fn
21           user-defined element-freeing function.

DESCRIPTION

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