    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull IDR rewrite from Matthew Wilcox:
     "The most significant part of the following is the patch to rewrite the
      IDR & IDA to be clients of the radix tree. But there's much more,
      including an enhancement of the IDA to be significantly more space
      efficient, an IDR & IDA test suite, some improvements to the IDR API
      (and driver changes to take advantage of those improvements), several
      improvements to the radix tree test suite and RCU annotations.
    
      The IDR & IDA rewrite had a good spin in linux-next and Andrew's tree
      for most of the last cycle. Coupled with the IDR test suite, I feel
      pretty confident that any remaining bugs are quite hard to hit. 0-day
      did a great job of watching my git tree and pointing out problems; as
      it hit them, I added new test-cases to be sure not to be caught the
      same way twice"
    
    Willy goes on to expand a bit on the IDR rewrite rationale:
     "The radix tree and the IDR use very similar data structures.
    
      Merging the two codebases lets us share the memory allocation pools,
      and results in a net deletion of 500 lines of code. It also opens up
      the possibility of exposing more of the features of the radix tree to
      users of the IDR (and I have some interesting patches along those
      lines waiting for 4.12)
    
      It also shrinks the size of the 'struct idr' from 40 bytes to 24 which
      will shrink a fair few data structures that embed an IDR"
