mm: correct comments regarding do_fault_around()
There are multiple comments surrounding do_fault_around that memtion fault_around_pages() and fault_around_mask(), two routines that do not exist. These comments should be reworded to reference fault_around_bytes, the value which is used to determine how much do_fault_around() will attempt to read when processing a fault. These comments should have been updated when fault_around_pages() and fault_around_mask() were removed in commit aecd6f44266c ("mm: close race between do_fault_around() and fault_around_bytes_set()"). Fixes: aecd6f44266c1 ("mm: close race between do_fault_around() and fault_around_bytes_set()") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/302D0B14-C7E9-44C6-8BED-033F9ACBD030@oracle.com Signed-off-by: William Kucharski <william.kucharski@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: Larry Bassel <larry.bassel@oracle.com> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Cc: "Kirill A.
