IDA_SIMPLE_GET(9) Basic Kernel Library Functions IDA_SIMPLE_GET(9)

NAME

ida_simple_get - get a new id.

SYNOPSIS

int ida_simple_get(struct ida * ida, unsigned int start, unsigned int end, gfp_t gfp_mask);

ARGUMENTS

ida

the (initialized) ida.

start

the minimum id (inclusive, < 0x8000000)

end

the maximum id (exclusive, < 0x8000000 or 0)

gfp_mask

memory allocation flags

DESCRIPTION

Allocates an id in the range start <= id < end, or returns -ENOSPC. On memory allocation failure, returns -ENOMEM.

Compared to ida_get_new_above this function does its own locking, and should be used unless there are special requirements.

Use ida_simple_remove to get rid of an id.
