NAME
bitmap_parse_user - convert an ASCII hex string in a user buffer into a bitmap
SYNOPSIS
int bitmap_parse_user(const char __user * ubuf, unsigned int ulen, unsigned long * maskp, int nmaskbits);
ARGUMENTS
ubuf pointer to user buffer containing string. ulen buffer size in bytes. If string is smaller than this then it must be terminated with a . maskp pointer to bitmap array that will contain result. nmaskbits size of bitmap, in bits.
DESCRIPTION
Wrapper for __bitmap_parse, providing it with user buffer. We cannot have this as an inline function in bitmap.h because it needs linux/uaccess.h to get the access_ok declaration and this causes cyclic dependencies.
