The 2nd parameter of 'find_first_bit' is the number of bits to search.
In this case, we are passing 'sizeof(unsigned long)' which is likely to
be 4 or 8.
If the size can be 4 or 8, then using 64 universally is not correct.
Why not use sizeof() * 8 (or << 3)?
I agree with you...

BTW, the log message is wrong. 'port_mask' is a u64. (not an unsigned long). So the sizeof should always be 8.
(cut and paste error from another patch, sorry)


It is likely that the number of bits of 'port_mask' was expected here. This
variable is a 'u64', so use 64 instead.

It has been spotted by the following coccinelle script:
@@
expression ret, x;

@@
*  ret = \(find_first_bit \| find_first_zero_bit\) (x, sizeof(...));

Not sure that using 64 directly is the best option.
Maybe '8 * sizeof(port_mask)' as used in the same file for
'for_each_set_bit' would be better

... as noted here

Would you like a v2 patch or, will you update it by yourself?

Best regards,
CJ
