3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 9f7de8275b46d9d11b1505adbfe6c2bb48df4741 upstream. Make one small adjustment to idr_get_next(): take the height from the top layer (stable under RCU) instead of from the root (unprotected by RCU), as idr_find() does: so that it can be used with RCU locking. Copied comment on RCU locking from idr_find().
