[PATCH 0/7] assorted minor bitmap patches

[Rasmus Villemoes]

A recent LKML thread had me look into bitmap.{h,c} again, and I
stumbled on/rediscovered a few things.

Rasmus Villemoes (7):
  lib/bitmap.c: remove wrong documentation
  linux/bitmap.h: handle constant zero-size bitmaps correctly
  linux/bitmap.h: remove redundant uses of small_const_nbits()
  linux/bitmap.h: fix type of nbits in bitmap_shift_right()
  linux/bitmap.h: relax comment on compile-time constant nbits
  lib/bitmap.c: fix remaining space computation in
    bitmap_print_to_pagebuf

[PATCH 1/7] lib/bitmap.c: remove wrong documentation

[Rasmus Villemoes]

This promise is violated in a number of places, e.g. already in the
second function below this paragraph. Since I don't think anybody relies
on this being true, and since actually honouring it would hurt
performance and code size in various places, just remove the paragraph.

[PATCH 2/7] linux/bitmap.h: handle constant zero-size bitmaps correctly

[Rasmus Villemoes]

The static inlines in bitmap.h do not handle a compile-time constant
nbits==0 correctly (they dereference the passed src or dst pointers,
despite only 0 words being valid to access). I had the 0-day buildbot
chew on a patch [1] that would cause build failures for such cases
without complaining, suggesting that we don't have any such users
currently, at least for the 70 .config/arch combinations that was
built. Should any turn up, make sure they use the out-of-line versions,
which do handle nbits==0 correctly.

This is of course not the most efficient, but it's much less churn than
teaching all the static inlines an "if (zero_const_nbits())", and since
we don't have any current instances, this doesn't affect existing code
at all.

[PATCH 3/7] linux/bitmap.h: remove redundant uses of small_const_nbits()

[Rasmus Villemoes]

In the _zero, _fill and _copy functions, the small_const_nbits
branch is redundant. If nbits is small and const, gcc knows full well
that BITS_TO_LONGS(nbits) is 1, so len is also a compile-time
constant (sizeof(long)), and calling memset or memcpy with a length
argument of sizeof(long) makes gcc generate the expected code anyway:

#include <string.h>
void a(unsigned long *x) { memset(x, 0, 8); }
void b(unsigned long *x) { memset(x, 0xff, 8); }
void c(unsigned long *x, const unsigned long *y) { memcpy(x, y, 8); }

turns into

take unsigned nbits. This was accidentally left out from 2fbad29917c98.

[PATCH 5/7] linux/bitmap.h: relax comment on compile-time constant nbits

[Rasmus Villemoes]

It's not clear what's so horrible about emitting a function call to
handle a run-time sized bitmap. Moreover, gcc also emits a function call
for a compile-time-constant-but-huge nbits, so the comment isn't even
accurate.

Actually not, I don't see this in linux-next.

Rasmus, do you know what happened to the series? Is it got stuck by unknown reasons?

I just assumed Andrew was busy doing more important things. He usually
gets around to these kinds of minor cleanups, eventually.

[PATCH 6/7] lib/bitmap.c: fix remaining space computation in bitmap_print_to_pagebuf

[Rasmus Villemoes]

For various alignments of buf, the current expression computes

4096 ok
4095 ok
8190
8189
...
4097

i.e., if the caller has already written two bytes into the page buffer,
len is 8190 rather than 4094, because PTR_ALIGN aligns up to the next
boundary. So if the printed version of the bitmap is huge, scnprintf()
ends up writing beyond the page boundary.

I don't think any current callers actually write anything before
bitmap_print_to_pagebuf, but the API seems to be designed to allow it.

Indeed, thanks! Andrew, if you pick this up, can you use the much more
obvious

PAGE_SIZE - offset_in_page(buf)

instead? bitmap.c already (unsurprisingly) includes mm.h through some
recursive path.

[PATCH 7/7] lib/bitmap.c: simplify bitmap_print_to_pagebuf

[Rasmus Villemoes]

len is guaranteed to lie in [1, PAGE_SIZE]. If scnprintf is called with
a buffer size of 1, it is guaranteed to return 0. So in the extremely
unlikely case of having just one byte remaining in the page, let's just
call scnprintf anyway. The only difference is that this will write a
'\0' to that final byte in the page, but that's an improvement: We now
guarantee that after the call, buf is a properly terminated C string of
length exactly the return value.
