The net/9p networking driver has a handy macro to calculate the amount of bytes from a given pointer to the end of page. Move it to core/mm, and apply tree-wide. No functional changes intended. This series was originally introduced as a single patch #07/12 in: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260219181407.290201-1-ynorov@nvidia.com/ (local) Split it for better granularity and submit separately.I don't get what the motivation is here. Another helper developers and readers of the code will need to know about just to replace obvious and easy to comprehend math.I fully agree, I had the same thought reading this.
+1 from KVM-land.
