When still merely investigating in preparation of my recent series,
i.e. without having made changes yet except to add some logging, I
did observe "Bitmap contained more entries than expected..." a
couple of times, with "written" and "entries" typically apart by
just 1 (as determined by extra logging; to be honest I don't recall
if they were farther apart at any point). So the number is _not_
accurate in any event, and cannot be used for other than reporting
purposes (as also expressed elsewhere on this thread).
This also underlines that, unlike you did say in a reply to one of
my patches, this is only a "detail" message, not an error, because
migration happily went on and succeeded.
