From pcpu_alloc_area itself, I think this is correct to avoid bitmap_find_next_zero_area scan past the boundaries of alloc_map, so Reviewed-by: Peng Fan <peng....@nxp.com> There are a few points I did not understand well, Per understanding pcpu_find_block_fit is to find the first bit off in a chunk which could satisfy the bits allocation, so bits might be larger than PCPU_BITMAP_BLOCK_BITS. And if pcpu_find_block_fit returns a good off, it means there is a area in the chunk could satisfy the bits allocation, then the following pcpu_alloc_area will not scan past the boundaries of alloc_map, right? Thanks, Peng. > 2.17.1
