Or to express it in C code:

	struct kmem_cache *cache = kmem_cache_create();
	struct Foo *foo = kmem_cache_alloc();

	// After this call cache will never be accessed; leaves a zombie cache,
	// since foo is still alive.
	kmem_cache_destroy(cache);

	// This must still be valid.
	foo->bar = 42;

	// Frees foo and causes the "zombie" cache to actually be destroyed.
	kmem_cache_free(foo);
