NAME
kmem_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.
