Yes, I noticed it after I sent this patch out. Sorry for not syncing the upstream codes.
I am very happy that you reviewed my patch :)

I send out other three patches to make current codes stronger :)
they are
[PATCH 1/3] lib/bitmap.c: correct a code style and do some optimization in __bitmap_parse
[PATCH 2/3] lib/bitmap.c: fix a special string handling bug in  __bitmap_parselist
[PATCH 3/3] lib/bitmap.c: bitmap_parselist can accept string with  whitespaces on head or tail
Of course I have verified/test them :)
They have minor codes change.

thanks
xinhui
