No it doesn't.

#define for_each_set_bit(bit, addr, size) \
	for ((bit) = find_first_bit((addr), (size));		\
	     (bit) < (size);					\
	     (bit) = find_next_bit((addr), (size), (bit) + 1))

find_first_bit:

 * Returns the bit number of the first set bit.
 * If no bits are set, returns @size.

All the bit operations only work on long *
