Subject: genetlink: use idr_alloc_cyclic for family->id assignment
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4e43df38a2e6c876d3c8ecc4196ed67a895c425d;p=people%2Fms%2Flinux.git

genetlink: use idr_alloc_cyclic for family->id assignment

When allocating the next family->id it makes more sense to use
idr_alloc_cyclic to avoid re-using a previously used family->id as much
as possible.
