Just use "const unsigned char *bitmap". > + > + for (bitmap.ptr = ptr; bytes > 0 && bitmap.address % sizeof(long); > + bytes--, bitmap.address++) > + w += hweight8(*bitmap.b); This can be: count = ((unsigned long)bitmap) % sizeof(long); while (count--) { w += hweight(*bitmap); bitmap++; bytes--; } > + > + for (longs = bytes / sizeof(long); longs > 0; ) { > + size_t bits = min_t(size_t, INT_MAX & ~(BITS_PER_LONG - 1), > + longs * BITS_PER_LONG); I find it highly unlikely that someone would have such a large bitmap (256 MB or more on 32-bit). Also the condition as you wrote it can just overflow so it won't have the desired effect. Just do BUG_ON(longs >= ULONG_MAX / BITS_PER_LONG); and remove the loop completely. If someone comes with such a huge bitmap, the code can be modified easily (after really closely inspecting whether such a huge bitmap is really well justified). > + > + w += bitmap_weight(bitmap.ptr, bits); > + bytes -= bits / BITS_PER_BYTE; > + bitmap.address += bits / BITS_PER_BYTE; > + longs -= bits / BITS_PER_LONG; > + } > + > + for (; bytes > 0; bytes--, bitmap.address++) > + w += hweight8(*bitmap.b); > + > + return w; > +} > +EXPORT_SYMBOL(memweight); Honza -- Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> SUSE Labs, CR -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
