idr_get_new9

Allocate new idr entry

Usage

int idr_get_new(struct idr * idp, void * ptr, int * id);

Arguments

idp

idr handle

ptr

pointer you want associated with the id

id

pointer to the allocated handle

Overview

If allocation from IDR's private freelist fails, idr_get_new_above will return -EAGAIN. The caller should retry the idr_pre_get call to refill IDR's preallocation and then retry the idr_get_new_above call.

If the idr is full idr_get_new_above will return -ENOSPC.

id returns a value in the range 0 ... 0x7fffffff
