It's not obvious how the code prevents adding more than 31 elements to the list and thus invoking undefined behaviour in the 1 << new_lbid expression, and in practice causing ->lbid values to repeat every 32 elements. But the definition of struct gb_loopback is local to loopback.c, and the lbid field is entirely unused outside of this function, so it seems we can just drop it entirely.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
