Sorry if it's too much nitpicking, but why the allocation of the first cb
should be a warning? There's nothing wrong there... Maybe dev_dbg()
instead?

Sorry if I didn't explain it more clearly.
If the case the cb is reused, you anyway call idr_alloc() and overwrite the
previous value of cb->id and it never gets idr_remove()'ed
