20  * DOC: qdf_flex_mem (flexibly sized memory allocator)
21  * QCA driver framework (QDF) flex mem APIs
22  *
23  * A flex memory allocator is a memory pool which not only dynamically expands,
24  * but also dynamically reduces as well. Benefits over full dynamic memory
25  * allocation are amoritized allocation cost, and reduced memory fragmentation.
26  *
27  * The allocator consists of 3 parts: the pool, segments, and items. Items are
28  * the smallest chuncks of memory that are handed out via the alloc call, and
29  * are all of a uniform size. Segments are groups of items, representing the
30  * smallest amount of memory that can be dynamically allocated or freed. A pool
31  * is simply a collection of segments.
