The current algorithm for generating sub-context IDs is FILO. If the contexts are not closed in that order, the uniqueness of the ID will be compromised. I.e. logging the creation/deletion of context IDs with an application that assigns and closes in a FIFO order reveals: cache_id: assign: uctxt: 3 sub_ctxt: 0 cache_id: assign: uctxt: 3 sub_ctxt: 1 cache_id: assign: uctxt: 3 sub_ctxt: 2 cache_id: close: uctxt: 3 sub_ctxt: 0 cache_id: assign: uctxt: 3 sub_ctxt: 2 <<< The sub_ctxt ID 2 is reused incorrectly. Update the sub-context ID assign algorithm to use a bitmask of in_use contexts. The new algorithm will allow the contexts to be closed in any order, and will only re-use unused contexts. Size subctxt and subctxt_cnt to match the user API size. Reviewed-by: Mike Marciniszyn <mike.marciniszyn@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Michael J.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
