Subject: [PATCH 1/2][RFC][BUG] msync: massive code cleanup of sys_msync()
From: Anton Salikhmetov <salikhmetov@...il.com>
The patch contains substantial code cleanup of the sys_msync() function:
1) consolidated error check for function parameters;
2) using the PAGE_ALIGN() macro instead of "manual" alignment;
3) improved readability of the loop traversing the process memory regions.
