Subject[PATCH] Fix calculus of bitmap_scnprintf_len()
Date
The function bitmap_scnprintf_len() is currently not used, but the returned
value is 4 times larger than needed. This value is also only a good upper
bound. Which should be mentioned in the comment.

The correct number of chars needed for the buffer, exluding any new line and
terminating zero is:

int bitmap_scnprintf_len(int len)
{
return /* complete hunks with commas */
((len / CHUNKSZ) * 9)
/* partial hunk, 4 bits in one char */
+ (((len % CHUNKSZ) + 3) / 4)
/* one less comma, if no partial hunk */
- !(len % CHUNKSZ);
}
