Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] bitmap: Introduce alloc/free helpers
Date:   Fri, 15 Jun 2018 16:20:12 +0300
Message-Id: <20180615132017.23889-1-andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com>

Precedence: bulk

A lot of code is using allocation of bitmaps using BITS_PER_LONG() macro and
sizeof(unsigned long) operator. The readability suffers because of this.

The series introduces three helpers, i.e. bitmap_alloc(), bitmap_zalloc() and
bitmap_free(), to make it more cleaner.

Patch 1 is a preparatory to avoid namespace collisions between bitmap API and
MD bitmap. No functional changes intended.

Patch 2 is just orphaned from previous release cycle.

Patch 3 introduces new helpers.

Patches 4 and 5 is just an example how to use new helpers. Locally I have like
dozen of them against different subsystems and drivers.

Ideally it would go through Input subsystem, thus, needs an Ack from MD maintainer(s).

Since v2:
 - added namespace fix patch against MD bitmap API
 - moved functions to lib/bitmap.c to avoid circular dependencies
 - appended Dmitry's tags

Andy Shevchenko (5):
  md: Avoid namespace collision with bitmap API
  bitmap: Drop unnecessary 0 check for u32 array operations
  bitmap: Add bitmap_alloc(), bitmap_zalloc() and bitmap_free()
  Input: gpio-keys - Switch to bitmap_zalloc()
  Input: evdev - Switch to bitmap_zalloc()
