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

From: Lorenzo Stoakes

Date: Fri Jul 10 2026 - 16:25:33 EST


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.
