Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm: Switch from TASK_SIZE to TASK_SIZE_MAX in the page fault code
Date: Tue, 10 May 2016 14:10:29 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1242fb23b0d05c3069dbf5758ac55d26bc114bef.1462914565.git.luto@kernel.org> (raw)
x86's page fault handlers had two TASK_SIZE uses that should have
been TASK_SIZE_MAX. I don't think that either one had a visible
effect, but this makes the code clearer and should save a few bytes
of text.
(And I eventually want to eradicate TASK_SIZE. This will help.)
