BUG_ON was necessary here to check that bitmap_weight will return a correct value, i.e. the computed weight will fit the int type: static __always_inline int bitmap_weight(const unsigned long *src, unsigned int nbits);
BUG_ON was added in the memweight v2 https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20120523092113.GG10452@quack.suse.cz/ Jan Kara wrote: >> + >> + for (longs = bytes / sizeof(long); longs > 0; ) { >> + size_t bits = min_t(size_t, INT_MAX & ~(BITS_PER_LONG - 1), > + longs * BITS_PER_LONG); > I find it highly unlikely that someone would have such a large bitmap > (256 MB or more on 32-bit).

We don't need this check, since we removed the bitmap_weight call and control the computation directly with size_t everywhere.
We could add BUG_ON(bytes >= SIZE_MAX / BITS_PER_BYTE); at the very beginning of the function to check that the array is not very big (>2000PiB), but it seems excessive.

Yes, but I thought it's good to show that the total size is not increasing because of the manual "inlining".
