[merged mm-stable] mm-memory-detect-writability-in-restore_exclusive_pte-through-can_change_pte_writable.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/memory: detect writability in restore_exclusive_pte() through can_change_pte_writable()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-memory-detect-writability-in-restore_exclusive_pte-through-can_change_pte_writable.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/memory: detect writability in restore_exclusive_pte() through can_change_pte_writable()
Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2025 20:37:47 +0100

Let's do it just like mprotect write-upgrade or during NUMA-hinting faults
on PROT_NONE PTEs: detect if the PTE can be writable by using
can_change_pte_writable().

Set the PTE only dirty if the folio is dirty: we might not necessarily
have a write access, and setting the PTE writable doesn't require setting
the PTE dirty.

From a CPU perspective, these entries are clean.  So only set the PTE
dirty if the folios is dirty.

With this change in place, there is no need to have separate readable and
writable device-exclusive entry types, and we'll merge them next
separately.

Note that, during fork(), we first convert the device-exclusive entries
back to ordinary PTEs, and we only ever allow conversion of writable PTEs
to device-exclusive -- only mprotect can currently change them to
readable-device-exclusive.  Consequently, we always expect
PageAnonExclusive(page)==true and can_change_pte_writable()==true, unless
we are dealing with soft-dirty tracking or uffd-wp.  But reusing
can_change_pte_writable() for now is cleaner.
