KMEM_CACHE_DESTROY(9) Memory Management in Linux KMEM_CACHE_DESTROY(9)NAMEkmem_cache_destroy - delete a cache
SYNOPSIS
void kmem_cache_destroy(struct kmem_cache * cachep);
ARGUMENTS
cachep
the cache to destroy
DESCRIPTION
Remove a struct kmem_cache object from the slab cache.
It is expected this function will be called by a module when it is
unloaded. This will remove the cache completely, and avoid a duplicate
cache being allocated each time a module is loaded and unloaded, if the
module doesn´t have persistent in-kernel storage across loads and
unloads.
The cache must be empty before calling this function.
The caller must guarantee that noone will allocate memory from the
cache during the kmem_cache_destroy.
