Name

ida_simple_get — get a new id.

Synopsis

int ida_simple_get (struct ida * ida,
 unsigned int start,
 unsigned int end,
 gfp_t gfp_mask);
 

Arguments

struct ida * ida

the (initialized) ida.

unsigned int start

the minimum id (inclusive, < 0x8000000)

unsigned int end

the maximum id (exclusive, < 0x8000000 or 0)

gfp_t gfp_mask

memory allocation flags

Description

Allocates an id in the range start <= id < end, or returns -ENOSPC. On memory allocation failure, returns -ENOMEM.

Compared to ida_get_new_above this function does its own locking, and should be used unless there are special requirements.

Use ida_simple_remove to get rid of an id.
