Subject: bitmap: fix find helper documentation
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8f4c4562c454c138b8f4db124f03a4ca29750277;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

bitmap: fix find helper documentation

find_nth_and_bit() and find_nth_and_andnot_bit() may return a value
greater than @size when the requested bit does not exist, matching
find_nth_bit(). Document that correctly. All current users are safe
against the '>=' vs '==' conditions.

Also fix the for_each_clear_bitrange_from() parameter descriptions so
they describe clear ranges instead of set ranges.
