[PATCH v3 0/5] lib: rework bitmap_parselist and tests
From: Yury Norov
Date: Wed Apr 03 2019 - 00:41:39 EST
bitmap_parselist has been evolved from a pretty simple idea for long and
now lacks for refactoring. It is not structured, has nested loops and a
set of opaque-named variables.
Things are more complicated because bitmap_parselist() is a part of user
interface, and its behavior should not change.
In this patchset
- bitmap_parselist_user() made a wrapper on bitmap_parselist();
- bitmap_parselist() reworked (patch 2);
- time measurement in test_bitmap_parselist switched to ktime_get
(patch 3);
- new tests introduced (patch 4), and
- bitmap_parselist_user() testing enabled with the same testset as
bitmap_parselist() (patch 5).
v1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/12/23/50
v2: https://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg3048976.html
v3: Implementation of an approach with copying the data to
kernel space in bitmap_parselist_user() instead of parsing
user data byte by byte. For me, it looks better than v2.
