Apologies for the mix-up, I'll make sure to check in with the mentors before
starting a task.
I looked over the other patch sent by Haneen today, there is one thing that I

obsolete since we can drop the check to idr_replace() and use the return value
from idr_remove() which seems neater in my opinion.
