Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Refactor do_fault_around()
Date: Fri, 17 Mar 2023 21:58:24 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1679089214.git.lstoakes@gmail.com> (raw)

Refactor do_fault_around() to avoid bitwise tricks and arather difficult to
follow logic.  Additionally, prefer fault_around_pages to
fault_around_bytes as the operations are performed at a base page
granularity.

I have run this code against a small program I wrote which generates
significant input data and compares output with the original function to
ensure that it behaves the same as the old code across varying vmf, vma and
fault_around_pages inputs.
