[PATCH v4 1/3] mm: pagewalk: simplify hugepage boundary calculation

From: Sahil Chandna

Date: Fri Nov 28 2025 - 02:02:23 EST


Replace hugepage boundary computation with ALIGN() helper instead of
an open coded expression. This helps to improves code readability.

This was flagged by Coccinelle (misc/minmax.cocci) as an opportunity
to use min(), after which the boundary computation was updated following
review suggestions.

No functional change intended.
