Patch series "lib: rework bitmap_parse", v5.
Similarl to the recently revisited bitmap_parselist(), bitmap_parse() is
ineffective and overcomplicated. This series reworks it, aligns its
interface with bitmap_parselist() and makes it simpler to use.
The series also adds a test for the function and fixes usage of it in
cpumask_parse() according to the new design - drops the calculating of
length of an input string.
bitmap_parse() takes the array of numbers to be put into the map in the BE
order which is reversed to the natural LE order for bitmaps. For example,
to construct bitmap containing a bit on the position 42, we have to put a
line '400,0'. Current implementation reads chunk one by one from the
beginning ('400' before '0') and makes bitmap shift after each successful
parse. It makes the complexity of the whole process as O(n^2). We can do
it in reverse direction ('0' before '400') and avoid shifting, but it
requires reverse parsing helpers.
This patch (of 7):
New function works like strchrnul() with a length limited string.
