Now what's the plan ? Andy, do you want to send a v2 of this patch or may I get the patch, modify it according to reviews already present in v1 and integrate it in my current series ?I would like to do that, but under pile of different things. I would try my best but if you have enough time and motivation feel free to take over, address the comments and integrate in your series. I dunno what to do with bitmap_onto(), perhaps in a separate patch we can replace it with bitmap_scatter() (IIUC) with explanation that the former 1) uses atomic ops while being non-atomic as a whole, and b) having quite hard to get documentation. At least that's how I see it, I mean that I would like to leave bitmap_onto() alone and address it separately.
I will take the Andy's bitmap_{scatter,gather}() patch in my next iteration.
And use bitmap_{scatter,gather}() in my code.
For bitmap_onto() replacement, nothing will be done in my next iteration as
it is out of this series scope.
