[RFC PATCH 04/16] mm/madvise: remove len parameter of madvise_do_behavior()

From: SeongJae Park
Date: Wed Mar 05 2025 - 13:18:47 EST


Because madise_should_skip() logic is factored out, making
madvise_do_behavior() calculates 'len' on its own rather then receiving
it as a parameter makes code simpler. Remove the parameter.
