Subject: [PATCH 02/77] idr: make idr_destroy() imply idr_remove_all()
Date: Wed, 6 Feb 2013 11:39:34 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1360179649-22465-3-git-send-email-tj@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1360179649-22465-1-git-send-email-tj@kernel.org>
idr is silly in quite a few ways, one of which is how it's supposed to
be destroyed - idr_destroy() doesn't release IDs and doesn't even
whine if the idr isn't empty. If the caller forgets idr_remove_all(),
it simply leaks memory.
Even ida gets this wrong and leaks memory on destruction. There is
absoltely no reason not to call idr_remove_all() from idr_destroy().
Nobody is abusing idr_destroy() for shrinking free layer buffer and
continues to use idr after idr_destroy(), so it's safe to do
remove_all from destroy.
In the whole kernel, there is only one place where idr_remove_all() is
legitimiately used without following idr_destroy() while there are
quite a few places where the caller forgets either idr_remove_all() or
idr_destroy() leaking memory.
This patch makes idr_destroy() call idr_destroy_all() and updates the
function description accordingly.
