Subject: [KJ] argument type of generic_fls()
Date: Sat, 13 Aug 2005 13:42:59 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <42FDF8E3.5010403@bfs.de> (raw)
hi list,
after the log2 discussion i was looking for log2 in kernel. i found
long_log2() in page_alloc.c. What the author actualy wanted was fls().
To my confusion the generic_fls() searches only 32 bit but has an
argument of type int (i would expect uint32).
Will it create confusion with 64bit int systems ? if anyone considers
these a problem i would add a flsl() function and replace the int with
uint32.
