Subject: [PATCH] staging: greybus: uart: replace IDR with XArray
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2026 20:23:30 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261111182330.77824-1-levinson.aviv@gmail.com> (raw)
Migrate the minor number allocation from the legacy IDR API to the
modern XArray API to take advantage of its built-in thread safety.
As part of this migration, the global `table_lock` mutex has been
removed. Mutating operations now rely on XArray's internal spinlocks,
and the lookup logic in get_gb_by_minor() has been updated to use
rcu_read_lock() combined with kref_get_unless_zero() to safely
pin the device reference without blocking.
