Subject: [PATCH v3 0/5] bitmap: Introduce alloc/free helpers
A lot of code is using allocation of bitmaps using BITS_PER_LONG() macro and
sizeof(unsigned long) operator. The readability suffers because of this.
The series introduces three helpers, i.e. bitmap_alloc(), bitmap_zalloc() and
bitmap_free(), to make it more cleaner.
Patch 1 is a preparatory to avoid namespace collisions between bitmap API and
MD bitmap. No functional changes intended.
Patch 2 is just orphaned from previous release cycle.
Patch 3 introduces new helpers.
Patches 4 and 5 is just an example how to use new helpers. Locally I have like
dozen of them against different subsystems and drivers.
Ideally it would go through Input subsystem, thus, needs an Ack from MD maintainer(s).
Since v2:
- fix compilation issue in MD bitmap code
- elaborate changes in commit message of patch 5
Since v1:
- added namespace fix patch against MD bitmap API
- moved functions to lib/bitmap.c to avoid circular dependencies
- appended Dmitry's tags
Andy Shevchenko (5):
md: Avoid namespace collision with bitmap API
bitmap: Drop unnecessary 0 check for u32 array operations
bitmap: Add bitmap_alloc(), bitmap_zalloc() and bitmap_free()
Input: gpio-keys - Switch to bitmap_zalloc()
Input: evdev - Switch to bitmap API
