which functions are used for dynamically allocating memory in the kernel?

[Carter Cheng]

Hello,

I am curious which sets of functions return pointers for the purpose of
dynamic allocating memory in the kernel? I am aware of get_free_pages
family, kmalloc, vmalloc, the slab allocator and mempools are there any
others?

Thanks in advance,

Carter.
