Name

krealloc — reallocate memory. The contents will remain unchanged.

Synopsis

void * krealloc (const void *  p,
 size_t  new_size,
 gfp_t  flags);

Arguments

p

object to reallocate memory for.

new_size

how many bytes of memory are required.

flags

the type of memory to allocate.

Description

The contents of the object pointed to are preserved up to the lesser of the new and old sizes. If p is NULL, krealloc behaves exactly like kmalloc. If size is 0 and p is not a NULL pointer, the object pointed to is freed.
