[PATCH 0/2] Refactor do_fault_around()

From: Lorenzo Stoakes
Date: Fri Mar 17 2023 - 17:58:41 EST


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.
