Do you have evidence of that? Sure, it can in theory, but the change
only affects the free space tree format conversion, which is a rare
operation. In fact, I actually benchmarked the change with [1] and saw
no noticable difference on x86-64. In any case, now that the on-disk
format problem is fixed, we can improve the implementation.

That's right.

Shrug, the original bitmap_set() helper doesn't do this. For our use
case, we're not expecting to do big spans with this since our free space
must be pretty fragmented for us to be using this in the first place.

Can't remember why I did this... Dan Carpenter already sent a patch
getting rid of these pointless casts.

Thanks for taking a look.
