Patch series "Rework find_get_entries() and find_lock_entries()", v3. Originally the callers of find_get_entries() and find_lock_entries() were keeping track of the start index themselves as they traverse the search range. This resulted in hacky code such as in shmem_undo_range(): index = folio->index + folio_nr_pages(folio) - 1; where the - 1 is only present to stay in the right spot after incrementing index later. This sort of calculation was also being done on every folio despite not even using index later within that function. These patches change find_get_entries() and find_lock_entries() to calculate the new index instead of leaving it to the callers so we can avoid all these complications. This patch (of 2): Initially, find_lock_entries() was being passed in the start offset as a value. That left the calculation of the offset to the callers. This led to complexity in the callers trying to keep track of the index. Now find_lock_entries() takes in a pointer to the start offset and updates the value to be directly after the last entry found. If no entry is found, the offset is not changed. This gets rid of multiple hacky calculations that kept track of the start offset.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
