From 988ade6b8e27e79311812f83a87b5cea11fabcd7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Krishna Kumar Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2009 19:55:07 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] genetlink: Optimize and one bug fix in genl_generate_id() 1. GENL_MIN_ID is a valid id -> no need to start at GENL_MIN_ID + 1. 2. Avoid going through the ids two times: If we start at GENL_MIN_ID+1 (*or bigger*) and all ids are over!, the code iterates through the list twice (*or lesser*). 3. Simplify code - no need to start at idx=0 which gets reset to GENL_MIN_ID. Patch on net-next-2.6. Reboot test shows that first id passed to genl_register_family was 16, next two were GENL_ID_GENERATE and genl_generate_id returned 17 & 18 (user level testing of same code shows expected values across entire range of MIN/MAX).
