It seems quite promising. I guess your intention is appreciating the advantage of small_const_nbits(). Conversely, you've created a distinct function for entries within a cluster. I also agree with your change to: if (!__swap_entry_free_locked(sis, offset + i, 1)) This adjustment ensures that for_each_set_bit() can also benefit from small_const_nbits. The original code didn't pass a compile-time const to for_each_clear_bit. > > -- > Best Regards, > Huang, Ying Thanks Barry
