A common trait of these objects are that they are allocated during the command validation phase and freed after command submission. Furthermore they are accessed by a single thread only. So provide a simple unprotected stack-like allocator from which these objects can be allocated. Their memory is freed with the validation context when the command submission is done. Note that the mm subsystem maintains a per-cpu cache of single pages to make single page allocation and freeing efficient.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
