mm: refactor do_fault_around()
Patch series "Refactor do_fault_around()" Refactor do_fault_around() to avoid bitwise tricks and rather difficult to follow logic. Additionally, prefer fault_around_pages to fault_around_bytes as the operations are performed at a base page granularity. This patch (of 2): The existing logic is confusing and fails to abstract a number of bitwise tricks. Use ALIGN_DOWN() to perform alignment, pte_index() to obtain a PTE index and represent the address range using PTE offsets, which naturally make it clear that the operation is intended to occur within only a single PTE and prevent spanning of more than one page table. We rely on the fact that fault_around_bytes will always be page-aligned, at least one page in size, a power of two and that it will not exceed PAGE_SIZE * PTRS_PER_PTE in size (i.e. the address space mapped by a PTE). These are all guaranteed by fault_around_bytes_set().
