About 20% of the IDR users in the kernel want the allocated IDs to start at 1. The implementation currently searches all the way down the left hand side of the tree, finds no free ID other than ID 0, walks all the way back up, and then all the way down again. This patch 'rebases' the ID so we fill the entire radix tree, rather than leave a gap at 0. Chris Wilson says: "I did the quick hack of allocating index 0 of the idr and that eradicated idr_get_free() from being at the top of the profiles for the many-object stress tests. This improvement will be much appreciated." Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@microsoft.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. 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.
