🌟 idr_get_cursor(9) 🌟

okay so bestie, this page is straight outta the Kernel API Manual 📖✨ and it's all about peeking at where the cyclic allocator is currently pointing. iconic little cursor check, no cap 💅

💖 NAME 💖

idr_get_cursor — Return the current position of the cyclic allocator 🌀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

unsigned int idr_get_cursor (const struct idr *idr );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• idr — idr handle 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The value returned is the value that will be next returned from idr_alloc_cyclic if it is free — otherwise the search will start from this position. 💫

Like, that's the whole vibe: you ask the cursor where it's at, and it tells you the next spot idr_alloc_cyclic would hand out if that spot is free. If it's not free, the search just starts from this position instead. simple as that 🌸
