[PATCH 1/2] lib: bitmap: add find_last_bit_range() and _find_last_bit_range()
From: Yi Sun
Date: Tue May 12 2026 - 00:13:22 EST
In some scenarios, it's not desirable to keep searching through the
beginning of the bitmap, but rather to search within a specific part.
The newly added function can accomplish this quickly.
