Subject: [PATCH 0/5] lib/find: add find_nth_bit()

Kernel lacks for a function that searches for Nth bit in a bitmap.
Usually people do it like this:
	for_each_set_bit(bit, mask, size)
		if (--n == 0)
			return bit;

Which is not so elegant, and very slow.

This series adds fast routines for this task, and applies them where
appropriate.

While here, move thin wrappers around find_bit() in nodemask.c to a
corresponding header, and because nodemask.c is empty after that,
remove it.

On top of "lib: cleanup bitmap-related headers":
https://lkml.org/lkml/2022/7/6/1202

Yury Norov (5):
  lib: add find_nth(,and,andnot)_bit()
  lib/bitmap: add tests for find_nth_bit()
  remove bitmap_ord_to_pos
  cpumask: add cpumask_nth_{,and,andnot}
  lib/nodemask: inline next_node_in() and node_random()
