The sbitmap and the percpu_ida perform essentially the same task, allocating tags for commands. The sbitmap outperforms the percpu_ida as documented here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/22/553 The sbitmap interface is a little harder to use, but being able to remove the percpu_ida code and getting better performance justifies the additional complexity.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
