SubjectRe: [PATCH v19 3/7] xbitmap: add more operations

I'm struggling to understand when one would use this. The xb_ API
requires you to handle your own locking. But specifying GFP flags
here implies you can sleep. So ... um ... there's no locking?

That's xb_zero() which you deleted with the previous patch ... remember,
keep things as close as possible to the bitmap API.
