addr_bit_test() is used in various places in IPv6 routing table
subsystem. It checks if the given fn_bit is set,
where fn_bit counts bits from MSB in words in network-order.
fn_bit : 0 .... 31 32 .... 64 65 .... 95 96 ....127
fn_bit >> 5 gives offset of word, and (~fn_bit & 0x1f) gives
count from LSB in the network-endian word in question.
fn_bit >> 5 : 0 1 2 3
~fn_bit & 0x1f: 31 .... 0 31 .... 0 31 .... 0 31 .... 0
Thus, the mask was generated as htonl(1 << (~fn_bit & 0x1f)).
This can be optimized by "sweezle" (See include/asm-generic/bitops/le.h).
In little-endian,
htonl(1 << bit) = 1 << (bit ^ BITOP_BE32_SWIZZLE)
where
BITOP_BE32_SWIZZLE is (0x1f & ~7)
So,
htonl(1 << (~fn_bit & 0x1f)) = 1 << ((~fn_bit & 0x1f) ^ (0x1f & ~7))
= 1 << ((~fn_bit ^ ~7) & 0x1f)
= 1 << ((~fn_bit ^ BITOP_BE32_SWIZZLE) & 0x1f)
In big-endian, BITOP_BE32_SWIZZLE is equal to 0.
1 << ((~fn_bit ^ BITOP_BE32_SWIZZLE) & 0x1f)
= 1 << ((~fn_bit) & 0x1f)
= htonl(1 << (~fn_bit & 0x1f))
