From dc4fac84f8e66b147921ebdc385e767d5def7422 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Tue, 10 May 2016 14:10:29 -0700 Subject: x86/mm: Switch from TASK_SIZE to TASK_SIZE_MAX in the page fault code 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.)
