New description:

 For reverse many-to-one relations, the `set` method's `bulk` keyword
 argument is passed down to the `add()` and `remove()` methods. It isn't
 however passed down to the `clear()` method:

 
https://github.com/django/django/blob/265506bbc347a6b3fcc6c66ab1a2417b3b7ea57a/django/db/models/fields/related_descriptors.py#L711

 This looks like a bug, as passing bulk=False, clear=True results in the
 following behavior:

 - clear() is invoked in "bulk" mode, not triggering signals
 - add() is invoked in "non-bulk" mode, signals are triggered

 Admitedly, I'm not too sure why you would want to do this, but at the very
 least the docs should mention if this combination is unsupported.

 I spotted this while reading the `related_descriptors.py` code to fix
 #29440.
