====================
net/sched: Improve getting objects by indexes
Using current TC code, it is very slow to insert a lot of rules.
In order to improve the rules update rate in TC,
we introduced the following two changes:
1) changed cls_flower to use IDR to manage the filters.
2) changed all act_xxx modules to use IDR instead of
a small hash table
But IDR has a limitation that it uses int. TC handle uses u32.
To make sure there is no regression, we add several new IDR APIs
to support unsigned long.

Addressed Hannes's comment:
express idr_alloc in terms of idr_alloc_ext and most of the other functions

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.
