[PATCH] idr: Fix the kernel-doc for idr_is_empty()
Posted by Manivannan Sadhasivam 2 months, 1 week ago
idr_is_empty() will return 'true' if IDR is empty and 'false' if any IDs
have been allocated from it. But the kernel-doc says the opposite. Hence,
fix it.

Btw, I'm not sure if we really need the radix_tree_tagged() check in this
function. It looks redundant to me. But since I'm not too sure about it, I left
it as it is.
