From: P Praneesh <redacted> Lock is not needed for the readable idr operation, so avoid spin_lock_bh for the idr_find() call. No need to disable the bottom half preempt if it is already in bottom half context, so modify the spin_lock_bh to spin_lock in the data tx completion handler.

Why are you doing the lookups twice instead of just using the return value of idr_remove? - Felix
