__BITMAP_SHIFT_RIGHT(9)           Basic Kernel Library Functions          __BITMAP_SHIFT_RIGHT(9)



NAME
       __bitmap_shift_right - logical right shift of the bits in a bitmap

SYNOPSIS
       void __bitmap_shift_right(unsigned long * dst, const unsigned long * src, unsigned shift,
                                 unsigned nbits);

ARGUMENTS
       dst
           destination bitmap

       src
           source bitmap

       shift
           shift by this many bits

       nbits
           bitmap size, in bits

DESCRIPTION
       Shifting right (dividing) means moving bits in the MS -> LS bit direction. Zeros are fed
       into the vacated MS positions and the LS bits shifted off the bottom are lost.
