[PATCH] mm: debugfs: move rounddown_pow_of_two() out from do_fault path

From: Andrey Ryabinin
Date: Mon Jul 28 2014 - 05:46:10 EST


do_fault_around expects fault_around_bytes rounded down to nearest
page order. Instead of calling rounddown_pow_of_two every time
in fault_around_pages()/fault_around_mask() we could do round down
when user changes fault_around_bytes via debugfs interface.

This also fixes bug when user set fault_around_bytes to 0.
Result of rounddown_pow_of_two(0) is not defined, therefore
fault_around_bytes == 0 doesn't work without this patch.

Let's set fault_around_bytes to PAGE_SIZE if user sets to something
less than PAGE_SIZE

Fixes: a9b0f861("mm: nominate faultaround area in bytes rather than page order")
