commit 75802ca66354a39ab8e35822747cd08b3384a99a upstream
This is found by code observation only.
Firstly, the worst case scenario should assume the whole range was covered by pmd sharing. The old algorithm might not work as expected for ranges like (1g-2m, 1g+2m), where the adjusted range should be (0, 1g+2m) but the expected range should be (0, 2g).
Since at it, remove the loop since it should not be required. With that, the new code should be faster too when the invalidating range is huge.
