Omar Sandoval 21035965f6 bitmap: fix memset optimization on big-endian systems
Commit 2a98dc028f ("include/linux/bitmap.h: turn bitmap_set and
bitmap_clear into memset when possible") introduced an optimization to
bitmap_{set,clear}() which uses memset() when the start and length are
constants aligned to a byte.

This is wrong on big-endian systems; our bitmaps are arrays of unsigned
long, so bit n is not at byte n / 8 in memory.  This was caught by the
Btrfs selftests, but the bitmap selftests also fail when run on a
big-endian machine.

We can still use memset if the start and length are aligned to an
unsigned long, so do that on big-endian.  The same problem applies to
the memcmp in bitmap_equal(), so fix it there, too.

Fixes: 2a98dc028f ("include/linux/bitmap.h: turn bitmap_set and bitmap_clear into memset when possible")
Fixes: 2c6deb0152 ("bitmap: use memcmp optimisation in more situations")

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
