IDR usage
|
||||
=========
|
||||
|
||||
Start by initialising an IDR, either with :c:func:`DEFINE_IDR`
|
||||
for statically allocated IDRs or :c:func:`idr_init` for dynamically
|
||||
Start by initialising an IDR, either with DEFINE_IDR()
|
||||
for statically allocated IDRs or idr_init() for dynamically
|
||||
allocated IDRs.
|
||||
|
||||
You can call :c:func:`idr_alloc` to allocate an unused ID. Look up
|
||||
the pointer you associated with the ID by calling :c:func:`idr_find`
|
||||
and free the ID by calling :c:func:`idr_remove`.
|
||||
You can call idr_alloc() to allocate an unused ID. Look up
|
||||
the pointer you associated with the ID by calling idr_find()
|
||||
and free the ID by calling idr_remove().
|
||||
|
||||
If you need to change the pointer associated with an ID, you can call
|
||||
:c:func:`idr_replace`. One common reason to do this is to reserve an
|
||||
idr_replace(). One common reason to do this is to reserve an
|
||||
ID by passing a ``NULL`` pointer to the allocation function; initialise the
|
||||
object with the reserved ID and finally insert the initialised object
|
||||
into the IDR.
|
||||
|
||||
Some users need to allocate IDs larger than ``INT_MAX``. So far all of
|
||||
these users have been content with a ``UINT_MAX`` limit, and they use
|
||||
:c:func:`idr_alloc_u32`. If you need IDs that will not fit in a u32,
|
||||
idr_alloc_u32(). If you need IDs that will not fit in a u32,
|
||||
we will work with you to address your needs.
|
||||
|
||||
If you need to allocate IDs sequentially, you can use
|
||||
:c:func:`idr_alloc_cyclic`. The IDR becomes less efficient when dealing
|
||||
idr_alloc_cyclic(). The IDR becomes less efficient when dealing
|
||||
with larger IDs, so using this function comes at a slight cost.
|
||||
|
||||
To perform an action on all pointers used by the IDR, you can
|
||||
either use the callback-based :c:func:`idr_for_each` or the
|
||||
iterator-style :c:func:`idr_for_each_entry`. You may need to use
|
||||
:c:func:`idr_for_each_entry_continue` to continue an iteration. You can
|
||||
also use :c:func:`idr_get_next` if the iterator doesn't fit your needs.
|
||||
either use the callback-based idr_for_each() or the
|
||||
iterator-style idr_for_each_entry(). You may need to use
|
||||
idr_for_each_entry_continue() to continue an iteration. You can
|
||||
also use idr_get_next() if the iterator doesn't fit your needs.
|
||||
|
||||
When you have finished using an IDR, you can call :c:func:`idr_destroy`
|
||||
When you have finished using an IDR, you can call idr_destroy()
|
||||
to release the memory used by the IDR. This will not free the objects
|
||||
pointed to from the IDR; if you want to do that, use one of the iterators
|
||||
to do it.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use :c:func:`idr_is_empty` to find out whether there are any
|
||||
You can use idr_is_empty() to find out whether there are any
|
||||
IDs currently allocated.
|
||||
|
||||
If you need to take a lock while allocating a new ID from the IDR,
|
||||
you may need to pass a restrictive set of GFP flags, which can lead
|
||||
to the IDR being unable to allocate memory. To work around this,
|
||||
you can call :c:func:`idr_preload` before taking the lock, and then
|
||||
:c:func:`idr_preload_end` after the allocation.
|
||||
you can call idr_preload() before taking the lock, and then
|
||||
idr_preload_end() after the allocation.
