bitmap_parselist has been evolved from a pretty simple idea for long and
now lacks for refactoring. It is not structured, has nested loops and a
set of opaque-named variables.

Things are more complicated than they may be because bitmap_parselist()
is a part of user interface, and its behavior should not change.

In this patchset
 - __bitmap_parselist() is reworked (patches 2 and 3);
 - time measurement in test_bitmap_parselist switched to ktime_get
   (patch 4);
 - new tests introduced (patch 5), and
 - bitmap_parselist_user() testing enabled with the same testset as
   bitmap_parselist() (patch 6).

Patches 1 and 4 are fixes and may be applied separately.

v1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/12/23/50
v2: https://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg3048976.html
v2 RESEND: rebased on next-20190325 and retested. 

Yury Norov (6):
  bitmap_parselist: don't calculate length of the input string
  bitmap_parselist: move non-parser logic to helpers
  bitmap_parselist: rework input string parser
  lib/test_bitmap: switch test_bitmap_parselist to ktime_get()
  lib/test_bitmap: add testcases for bitmap_parselist
  lib/test_bitmap: add tests for bitmap_parselist_user

bitmap_parselist has been evolved from a pretty simple idea for long and
now lacks for refactoring. It is not structured, has nested loops and a
set of opaque-named variables. All this leads to extremely hard
understanding of the code. Once during the optimization of it I missed a
scenario which leads to kernel hangup. Tetsuo Handa spotted this and found
it simpler to rewrite the code instead fixing it. (Though, that attempt
had some flaws.)

Things are more complicated than they may be because bitmap_parselist()

 - time measurement in test_bitmap_parselist switched to ktime_get

 - new tests introduced (patch 5), and
 - bitmap_parselist_user() testing enabled with the same testset as
   bitmap_parselist() (patch 6).

Patch 1 is a fix and may be applied separately.

V1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/12/23/50
v2: - use PTR_ERR() and ERR_PTR() where appropriate;
    - fix parser logic (last byte of string handling);
    - tests for bitmap_parselist_user() in patch 5.
