It has no more users, so remove it. Move idr_alloc() back into idr.c, move the guts of idr_alloc_cmn() into idr_alloc_u32(), remove the wrappers around idr_get_free_cmn() and rename it to idr_get_free(). While there is now no interface to allocate IDs larger than a u32, the IDR internals remain ready to handle a larger ID should a need arise. These changes make it possible to provide the guarantee that, if the nextid pointer points into the object, the object's ID will be initialised before a concurrent lookup can find the object.

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.
