[PATCH v2 16/33] mm/vma: minor cleanup of expand_[upwards, downwards]()

From: Lorenzo Stoakes <ljs@kernel.org>
Date: 2026-07-10 20:23:42
Also in: damon, dri-devel, kvm, linux-arm-msm, linux-fsdevel, linux-iommu, linux-mm, linux-perf-users, linux-tegra, lkml, nvdimm
Subsystem: memory management, memory mapping, the rest · Maintainers: Andrew Morton, Liam R. Howlett, Lorenzo Stoakes, Linus Torvalds

Adjust the stack expansion functions expand_upwards() and
expand_downwards() such that they are expressed in terms of named constant
values, and make use of vma_start_pgoff().

This clearly documents that we are referencing the page offset of the start
of the VMA.

Additionally this cleans up the overflow check in expand_upwards().

No functional change intended.
