Subject: Re: [PATCH v1 2/5] lib/bitmap: Introduce bitmap_scatter() and
 bitmap_gather() helpers

If so, can you add a test that makes sure that new API is consistent
with the old bitmap_remap? And also provide numbers how well are they
optimized, comparing to bitmap_remap.

I grepped the whole kernel, not only Documentation directory, and found
nothing...

Returning a weight of the mask is somewhat non-trivial... To me it
would be logical to return a weight of destination, for example...

But I see that in the following patch you're using the returned value.
Maybe add a few words to advocate that?

Is n signed for purpose? I think it should be consistent with
return value.

Not sure about others, but to me hex representation is quite useless,
moreover it's followed by binary one.

It looks like those are designed complement to each other. Is that
true? If so, can you make your example showing that
        scatter -> gather -> scatter
would restore the original bitmap?

If I'm wrong, can you please underline that they are not complement,
and why?

I feel like they should reside in header, because they are quite a small
functions indeed, and they would benefit from compile-time optimizations
without bloating the kernel.

Moreover, you are using them in patch #3 on 64-bit bitmaps, which
would benefit from small_const_nbits() optimization.

Can you make it 1000? That way we'll test non-aligned case.

Would be interesting to compare bitmap scatter/gather performance
against bitmap_remap.
