dst.nr_bitmap is initialized with SIZE_OF_DENTRY_BITMAP,
which is defined as:
#define NR_DENTRY_IN_BLOCK 214 /* the number of dentry in a block */
#define SIZE_OF_DIR_ENTRY 11 /* by byte */
#define SIZE_OF_DENTRY_BITMAP ((NR_DENTRY_IN_BLOCK + BITS_PER_BYTE - 1) / \
BITS_PER_BYTE)
((214 + 8 - 1) / 8 = 27, so dst.nr_bitmap is indeed compile-time 27.
Not sure how would know that src.nr_bitmap can be > 27, though.
Am I missing something ?
