#define pmd_addr_end(addr, end)						\
({	unsigned long __boundary = ((addr) + PMD_SIZE) & PMD_MASK;	\
	(__boundary - 1 < (end) - 1)? __boundary: (end);		\
})

If my understanding is correct, the definition here align the addr to next PMD
boundary or end.

I don't see the possibility to across another PMD. Do I miss something?
