Subject: [PATCH v2 7/7] gpiolib: use bitmap_zalloc() for fastpath bitmaps
Date: Tue, 03 Nov 2026 19:40:35 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261103-b4-gpiolib-free-v2-7-ea46767c9cf8@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261103-b4-gpiolib-free-v2-0-ea46767c9cf8@gmail.com>
Currently, struct gpio_array embeds invert_mask[] as a flexible array
member, and gpio_descs_alloc() allocates the descriptor array,
struct gpio_array, and all three fastpath bitmaps in a single kzalloc()
call using manual BITS_TO_LONGS() calculations and pointer arithmetic.
This exposes gpiolib to the underlying unsigned long representation
used by bitmaps rather than respecting the bitmap abstraction.
Convert invert_mask in struct gpio_array to a pointer and allocate each
of the three fastpath bitmaps individually via bitmap_zalloc(), freeing
them via bitmap_free() on fastpath cancellation and array disposal.
Although this adds three slab allocations when the fastpath is active,
packing all three masks into a single bitmap_zalloc() call would still
require rounding the bit count up to BITS_PER_LONG and slicing the
buffer with unsigned long pointer arithmetic, adding a second
allocation and extra free paths without achieving bitmap API
abstraction.
