This wording could cause some confusion, what about a simpler:

"reflect the range of pages that had its attributes successfully set"

"address + 1 page" or "subsequent page" perhaps.

In fact, wouldn't this all become simpler if size were number of pages instead?

Here PAGE_SIZE and -1 cancel out.

Consider using gpa_to_gfn as well.
