Nice work, Gargi!

The repeated use of "idr.idr_next - 1" suggests that maybe this could
be hidden behind a new IDR API, but that could be something for a
follow-up patch.

There already is the idr_get_cursor function, but you would still
have to subtract 1 from the value returned by idr_get_cursor...

Other than that nitpick, this patch looks good to me.
