[PATCH] lib/bitmap: drop optimization of bitmap_{from,to}_arr64

From: Yury Norov
Date: Mon Feb 27 2023 - 12:21:59 EST


bitmap_{from,to}_arr64() optimization is overly optimistic on 32-bit LE
architectures when it's wired to bitmap_copy_clear_tail().

bitmap_copy_clear_tail() takes care of unused bits in the bitmap up to
the next word boundary. But on 32-bit machines when copying bits from
bitmap to array of 64-bit words, it's expected that the unused part of
a recipient array must be cleared up to 64-bit boundary, so the last 4
bytes may stay untouched.

While the copying part of the optimization works correct, that clear-tail
trick makes corresponding tests reasonably fail when nbits % 64 <= 32:

test_bitmap: bitmap_to_arr64(nbits == 1): tail is not safely cleared: 0xa5a5a5a500000001 (must be 0x0000000000000001)

Fix it by removing bitmap_{from,to}_arr64() optimization for 32-bit LE
arches.
