This patch series replaces kernel bitmap implementation of PID allocation with IDR API.
The following are the stats for pid and pid_namespace object files before and after the replacement. There is a noteworthy change between the IDR and bitmap implementation.
Before text data bss dec hex filename 8447 3894 64 12405 3075 kernel/pid.o After text data bss dec hex filename 3602 324 8 3934 f5e kernel/pid.o
Before text data bss dec hex filename 5692 1842 192 7726 1e2e kernel/pid_namespace.o After text data bss dec hex filename 2858 216 16 3090 c12 kernel/pid_namespace.o
There wasn't a considerable difference between the time required for allocation of PIDs to the processes. The IDR implementation is a little faster than bitmap implementation.
The next change in the pipeline is replacing pidhash with IDR API implementation.
