From 711a49a07f84f914aac26a52143f6e7526571143 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Manfred Spraul Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2008 18:17:06 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] lib/idr.c: Fix bug introduced by RCU fix The last patch to lib/idr.c caused a bug if idr_get_new_above() was called on an empty idr. Usually, nodes stay on the same layer. New layers are added to the top of the tree. The exception is idr_get_new_above() on an empty tree: In this case, the new root node is first added on layer 0, then moved upwards. p->layer was not updated. As usual: You shall never rely on the source code comments, they will only mislead you.
