Hi all, while the idr discussion is still hot, there's another thing that caught my eye recently:
As to my reading of idr.h, I have two choices of initializing a global idr: a) static struct idr foo; /* ... */ idr_init(&foo); b) static DEFINE_IDR(foo); idr_init(), when called for the first time, sets up the layer cache. idr_get_new() and friends expect the cache to exist. Now, what happens if the first call to idr_get_new() targets an idr initialized using DEFINE_IDR() before idr_init() has been called at least once? Could this happen?
