[PATCH] bitmap: Properly initialise destination bitmap for scatter & gather test

From: "Christophe Leroy (CS GROUP)" <chleroy@kernel.org>
Date: 2026-07-09 11:40:44
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: bitmap api, library code, the rest · Maintainers: Yury Norov, Andrew Morton, Linus Torvalds

Erhard reports failure of bitmap tests on powerpc:

  test_bitmap: loaded.
  test_bitmap: [lib/test_bitmap.c:397] bitmaps contents differ: expected "1,3-4,9", got "1,3-4,9,65-71,73-79,81-87,89-95,97-99"
  test_bitmap: parselist('0-2047:128/256'):    912
  test_bitmap: scnprintf("%*pbl", '0-32767'):    5977
  test_bitmap: test_bitmap_read_perf:        1191082
  test_bitmap: test_bitmap_write_perf:        1270153
  test_bitmap: failed 1 out of 208655 tests

The happens mainly when CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN is set.

Commit 6b5a4b687367 ("bitmap: Add test for out-of-boundary
modifications for scatter & gather") extended the test to
out-of-boundary bits, but those bits where left uninitialised.

Properly initialise the entire result bitmap before the test.
