Subject: [PATCHv4 0/1] Update SCSI hosts to use ida for host number mgmt
Date: Wed,  7 Oct 2015 16:51:33 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1444241058.git.lduncan@suse.com> (raw)

This patch updates the SCSI hosts module to use the ida
index-management routines to manage its host_no index instead
of using an ATOMIC integer. This means that host numbers
can now be reclaimed and re-used.

NOTE: it was not feasible to use idr_*() functions instead of
ida_*() functions, since using idr_find() without additional
locking to find our Scsi_Host structure left a window between
idr lookup and host structure deletion that would have
required additional locking to close.

Changes from v3:
 - Switched from idr to ida since managing our instance
   pointer required extra locking
Changes from v2 and v1:
 - First two version used idr instead of ida
