[PATCH v2 4/4] bitmap: Use memcmp optimisation in more situations

From: Matthew Wilcox
Date: Wed Jun 28 2017 - 11:32:50 EST


From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Commit 7dd968163f ("bitmap: bitmap_equal memcmp optimization") was
rather more restrictive than necessary; we can use memcmp() to implement
bitmap_equal() as long as the number of bits can be proved to be a
multiple of 8. And architectures other than s390 may be able to make
good use of this optimisation.
