In idr_replace(), when the top layer is the max-high layer(p->layer == 3), The "(1 << n)" will overflow and the result is 0, it causes idr_replace() return -EINVAL even the id is actually valid. The following test code shows it fails to replace the value for id=((1<<27)+42): static void test5(void) { int id; DEFINE_IDR(test_idr); #define TEST5_START ((1<<27)+42) /* use the highest layer */ printk(KERN_INFO "Start test5\n"); id = idr_alloc(&test_idr, (void *)1, TEST5_START, 0, GFP_KERNEL); BUG_ON(id != TEST5_START); TEST_BUG_ON(idr_replace(&test_idr, (void *)2, TEST5_START) != (void *)1); idr_destroy(&test_idr); printk(KERN_INFO "End of test5\n"); } Fixed the bug by using idr_max() instead of the incorrect open code. There is the same problem in sub_alloc(). The overflow causes sub_alloc() returns -EAGAIN unexpectedly. But the idr_get_empty_slot() will call it again with increased @id. So the bug is hided.
