dst.nr_bitmap is initialized with SIZE_OF_DENTRY_BITMAP,
which is defined as:

#define NR_DENTRY_IN_BLOCK      214     /* the number of dentry in a block */
#define SIZE_OF_DIR_ENTRY       11      /* by byte */
#define SIZE_OF_DENTRY_BITMAP   ((NR_DENTRY_IN_BLOCK + BITS_PER_BYTE - 1) / \
                                        BITS_PER_BYTE)

((214 + 8 - 1) / 8 = 27, so dst.nr_bitmap is indeed compile-time 27.

Not sure how would know that src.nr_bitmap can be > 27, though.
Am I missing something ?
