+for statically allocated IDRs or idr_init() for dynamically
allocated IDRs.

+You can call idr_alloc() to allocate an unused ID. Look up
+the pointer you associated with the ID by calling idr_find()
+and free the ID by calling idr_remove().

If you need to change the pointer associated with an ID, you can call
-:c:func:`idr_replace`. One common reason to do this is to reserve an
+idr_replace(). One common reason to do this is to reserve an
ID by passing a ``NULL`` pointer to the allocation function; initialise the
object with the reserved ID and finally insert the initialised object
into the IDR.

Some users need to allocate IDs larger than ``INT_MAX``. So far all of
these users have been content with a ``UINT_MAX`` limit, and they use
-:c:func:`idr_alloc_u32`. If you need IDs that will not fit in a u32,
+idr_alloc_u32(). If you need IDs that will not fit in a u32,
we will work with you to address your needs.

If you need to allocate IDs sequentially, you can use
-:c:func:`idr_alloc_cyclic`. The IDR becomes less efficient when dealing
+idr_alloc_cyclic(). The IDR becomes less efficient when dealing
with larger IDs, so using this function comes at a slight cost.

To perform an action on all pointers used by the IDR, you can
-either use the callback-based :c:func:`idr_for_each` or the
-iterator-style :c:func:`idr_for_each_entry`. You may need to use
-:c:func:`idr_for_each_entry_continue` to continue an iteration. You can
-also use :c:func:`idr_get_next` if the iterator doesn't fit your needs.

+When you have finished using an IDR, you can call idr_destroy()
to release the memory used by the IDR. This will not free the objects
pointed to from the IDR; if you want to do that, use one of the iterators
to do it.

+You can use idr_is_empty() to find out whether there are any
IDs currently allocated.

If you need to take a lock while allocating a new ID from the IDR,
you may need to pass a restrictive set of GFP flags, which can lead
to the IDR being unable to allocate memory. To work around this,
-you can call :c:func:`idr_preload` before taking the lock, and then
-:c:func:`idr_preload_end` after the allocation.
