From uma.h:

/*
 * Allocates an item out of a zone
 *
 * Arguments:
 *      zone  The zone we are allocating from
 *      arg   This data is passed to the ctor function
 *      flags See sys/malloc.h for available flags.
 *
 * Returns:
 *      A non null pointer to an initialized element from the zone is
 *      garanteed if the wait flag is M_WAITOK, otherwise a null pointer
may be
 *      returned if the zone is empty or the ctor failed.
 */

void *uma_zalloc_arg(uma_zone_t zone, void *arg, int flags);

/*
 * Allocates an item out of a zone without supplying an argument
 * 
 * This is just a wrapper for uma_zalloc_arg for convenience.
 *
 */
static __inline void *uma_zalloc(uma_zone_t zone, int flags);
