Andy, I tested your bitmap_{scatter,gather}() in my code.
I simply replaced my bitmap_{onto,off}() calls by calls to your helpers and
it works perfectly for my use case.

I didn't use your whole patch
  "[PATCH v1 2/5] lib/bitmap: Introduce bitmap_scatter() and bitmap_gather() helpers"
because it didn't apply on a v6.8-rc1 based branch.
I just manually extracted the needed functions for my tests and I didn't look
at the lib/test_bitmap.c part.

Now what's the plan ?
Andy, do you want to send a v2 of this patch or may I get the patch, modify it
according to reviews already present in v1 and integrate it in my current
series ?

Yury, any preferences ?

Best regards,
Hervé
