hi, jia
	Nice patch. But I have one minor question. see inline comments.

  Seems better that size should be type of "unsigned long". Otherwise I'm afraid when we compare idx * BITS_PER_LONG with size, there might be overflow issue.

this argc of size should be type of "unsigned long", too.

thanks
