IDA_GET_NEW_ABOVE(9)

NAME
ida_get_new_above - allocate new ID above or equal to a start id

SYNOPSIS

int ida_get_new_above(struct ida * ida, int starting_id, int * p_id);

ARGUMENTS

ida
    ida handle

starting_id
    id to start search at

p_id
    pointer to the allocated handle

DESCRIPTION

Allocate new ID above or equal to starting_id. It should be called with any required locks.

If memory is required, it will return -EAGAIN, you should unlock and go back to the ida_pre_get call. If the ida is full, it will return -ENOSPC.

Note that callers must ensure that concurrent access to ida is not possible. See ida_simple_get for a varaint which takes care of locking.

p_id returns a value in the range starting_id ... 0x7fffffff.
