[RFC PATCH 03/16] mm/madvise: deduplicate madvise_do_behavior() skip case handlings
From: SeongJae Park
Date: Wed Mar 05 2025 - 13:17:24 EST
The logic for checking if a given madvise() request for a single memory
range can skip real work, namely madvise_do_behavior(), is duplicated in
do_madvise() and vector_madvise(). Split out the logic to a function
and resue it.
