Hi Arnd,

Sharing a new version of bitmap_set_value(). Let me know if it looks
good and whether it suppresses the compiler warning.

The below patch is created against the v12 version of bitmap_set_value().

-static inline void bitmap_set_value(unsigned long *map,
-                                    unsigned long value,
-                                    unsigned long start, unsigned long nbits)
+static inline void bitmap_set_value(unsigned long *map, unsigned long nbits,
+                                   unsigned long value, unsigned long value_width,
+                                   unsigned long start)
 {
-        const size_t index = BIT_WORD(start);
+        const unsigned long index = BIT_WORD(start);
+        const unsigned long length = BIT_WORD(nbits);
         const unsigned long offset = start % BITS_PER_LONG;
         const unsigned long ceiling = round_up(start + 1, BITS_PER_LONG);
         const unsigned long space = ceiling - start;
 
-        value &= GENMASK(nbits - 1, 0);
+        value &= GENMASK(value_width - 1, 0);
 
-        if (space >= nbits) {
-                map[index] &= ~(GENMASK(nbits - 1, 0) << offset);
+        if (space >= value_width) {
+                map[index] &= ~(GENMASK(value_width - 1, 0) << offset);
                 map[index] |= value << offset;
         } else {
                 map[index + 0] &= ~BITMAP_FIRST_WORD_MASK(start);
                 map[index + 0] |= value << offset;
-                map[index + 1] &= ~BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK(start + nbits);
+
+               if (index + 1 >= length)
+                       __builtin_unreachable();
+
+                map[index + 1] &= ~BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK(start + value_width);
                 map[index + 1] |= value >> space;
         }
 }
