While the DOC at the beginning of lib/bitmap.c explicitly states that "The number of valid bits in a given bitmap does _not_ need to be an exact multiple of BITS_PER_LONG.", some of the bitmap operations do indeed access BITS_PER_LONG portions of the provided bitmap no matter the size of the provided bitmap. For example, if find_first_bit() is provided with an 8 bit bitmap the operation will access BITS_PER_LONG bits from the provided bitmap. While the operation ensures that these extra bits do not affect the result, the memory is still accessed. The capacity bitmasks (CBMs) are typically stored in u32 since they can never exceed 32 bits. A few instances exist where a bitmap_* operation is performed on a CBM by simply pointing the bitmap operation to the stored u32 value. The consequence of this pattern is that some bitmap_* operations will access out-of-bounds memory when interacting with the provided CBM. This same issue has previously been addressed with commit |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
