Subject: bitmap API consistency
Date: Wed, 24 May 2017 15:11:21 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1495627881.6967.99.camel@linux.intel.com> (raw)

Hi!

Surprisingly discovered today that bitmap API is not consistent in some
cases (at least one I found recently).

bitmap_fill() sets area of bits in a bitmap.
bitmap_zero() clears them.

However, if _fill() does something sane, _zero() clears _all_ bits up to
word size (long).

I think it should be fixed to be consistent with _fill() variant.

Thoughts?
