From e096f6a762bc54d0e5d44ba8b196e70b58e04367 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Wilcox Date: Tue, 28 Nov 2017 10:14:27 -0500 Subject: idr: Add idr_alloc_u32 helper All current users of idr_alloc_ext() actually want to allocate a u32 and idr_alloc_u32() fits their needs better. Like idr_get_next(), it uses a 'nextid' argument which serves as both a pointer to the start ID and the assigned ID (instead of a separate minimum and pointer-to-assigned-ID argument). It uses a 'max' argument rather than 'end' because the semantics that idr_alloc has for 'end' don't work well for unsigned types. Since idr_alloc_u32() returns an errno instead of the allocated ID, mark it as __must_check to help callers use it correctly. Include copious kernel-doc. Chris Mi has promised to contribute test-cases for idr_alloc_u32.
