Hi,
This patch allows idr to be used in irq context.
idr_pre_get() is necessary to be called before
idr_get_new() is called. No locking is necessary when
calling idr_pre_get().
But idr_get_new(), idr_find() and idr_remove()
must be serialized with respect to each other.
All of the aforementioned, may end up in alloc_layer()
or free_layer() which grabs the idp lock using spin_lock.
If idr_get_new() or idr_remove() is used in IRQ context,
then we may get a lockup when idr_pre_get was called
in process context and an IRQ interrupted while it held
the idp lock.
This patch changes the spin_lock to spin_lock_irqsave,
and spin_unlock to spin_unlock_irqrestore, to allow
idr_get_new(), idr_find() and idr_remove() to be
called from IRQ context, while idr_pre_get() to be
called in process context.
