These helpers scatters or gathers a bitmap with the help of the mask
position bits parameter.
bitmap_scatter() does the following:
src: 0000000001011010
||||||
+------+|||||
| +----+||||
| |+----+|||
| || +-+||
| || | ||
mask: ...v..vv...v..vv
...0..11...0..10
dst: 0000001100000010
and bitmap_gather() performs this one:
mask: ...v..vv...v..vv
src: 0000001100000010
^ ^^ ^ 0
| || | 10
| || > 010
| |+--> 1010
| +--> 11010
+----> 011010
dst: 0000000000011010
bitmap_gather() can the seen as the reverse bitmap_scatter() operation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
