H A Didr.c8f9f665a Fri Jun 06 16:37:11 CDT 2014 Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> idr: fix unexpected ID-removal when idr_remove(unallocated_id)

If unallocated_id = (ANY * idr_max(idp->layers) + existing_id) is passed
to idr_remove(). The existing_id will be removed unexpectedly.

The following test shows this unexpected id-removal:

static void test4(void)
{
int id;
DEFINE_IDR(test_idr);

printk(KERN_INFO "Start test4\n");
id = idr_alloc(&test_idr, (void *)1, 42, 43, GFP_KERNEL);
BUG_ON(id != 42);
idr_remove(&test_idr, 42 + IDR_SIZE);
TEST_BUG_ON(idr_find(&test_idr, 42) != (void *)1);
idr_destroy(&test_idr);
printk(KERN_INFO "End of test4\n");
}

ida_remove() shares the similar problem.

It happens only when the caller tries to free an unallocated ID which is
the caller's fault. It is not a bug. But it is better to add the
proper check and complain rather than removing an existing_id silently.
