The static inlines in bitmap.h do not handle a compile-time constant nbits==0 correctly (they dereference the passed src or dst pointers, despite only 0 words being valid to access). I had the 0-day buildbot chew on a patch [1] that would cause build failures for such cases without complaining, suggesting that we don't have any such users currently, at least for the 70 .config/arch combinations that was built. Should any turn up, make sure they use the out-of-line versions, which do handle nbits==0 correctly. This is of course not the most efficient, but it's much less churn than teaching all the static inlines an "if (zero_const_nbits())", and since we don't have any current instances, this doesn't affect existing code at all.

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.
