[PATCH v3 2/2] idr: Document that ida_simple_{get,remove}() are deprecated

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



These two functions are deprecated. Users should call ida_alloc() or
ida_free() respectively instead. Add documentation to this effect until
the macro can be removed.
