[PATCH] percpu_ida: Handle out-of-tags gracefully

From: Bart Van Assche
Date: Mon Mar 10 2014 - 10:12:48 EST


Avoid that percpu_ida_alloc() hangs or crashes if there are still
tags are available. Wait until a tag becomes available instead of
giving up when running out of tags temporarily. This patch fixes
the following kernel bug:
