The idr index management library supplies two sets of routines for managing monotonically increasing index numbers. The "ida" set of routines manage allocating and freeing simple index numbers. The "idr" set of routines add the ability to save an arbitrary pointer with each index. Both sets of routines are used throughout the kernel, and it was noted that many of them use the same or similar calling sequences, making a helper function a useful addition. This set of patches adds some helper functions, defined as inline in <linux/idr.h>. In addition, any of the clients of these idr library functions that could benefit from using these helper functions where modified to use them. In addition to cleaning up the code in the clients of these functions, the SCSI hosts module, which used to use a simple atomic integer for index management is converted to using the idr set of routines to manage its index values as well as to simplify and speed up host number to instance lookups. I have functionally tested the SCSI host indexing change, and I have compile tested all of the other changes. The maintainers of each driver are cc-ed on the patch series, where available. Note: I did not mark this patch series as "v2" since the scope of the patch set has grown considerably since my first submissions. Summary: There is one patch that adds helper functions, 11 patches that use the new "idr" helper functions, and 5 that use the new "ida" helper functions. Lee Duncan (17): 1.
