From cgroup core side, the id space isn't restricted. > diff --git a/mm/memcontrol.c b/mm/memcontrol.c > index 75e74408cc8f..1d8a6dffdc25 100644 > --- a/mm/memcontrol.c > +++ b/mm/memcontrol.c ... > +static void mem_cgroup_id_put(struct mem_cgroup *memcg) > +{ > + if (atomic_dec_and_test(&memcg->id.ref)) { > + idr_remove(&mem_cgroup_idr, memcg->id.id); Maybe this should do "memcg->id.id = 0"? > + css_id_free(&memcg->css); > + css_put(&memcg->css); > + } > +} > + > +/** > + * mem_cgroup_from_id - look up a memcg from a memcg id > + * @id: the memcg id to look up > + * > + * Caller must hold rcu_read_lock(). > + */ > +struct mem_cgroup *mem_cgroup_from_id(unsigned short id) > +{ > + WARN_ON_ONCE(!rcu_read_lock_held()); > + return id > 0 ? idr_find(&mem_cgroup_idr, id) : NULL; > +} css_from_id() has it too but I don't think id > 0 test is necessary. We prolly should take it out of css_from_id() too. It might be useful to add comment explaining why memcg needs private ids.
