Subject: mm/hugetlb: tolerate UFFD_WP markers outside uffd-wp VMAs
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2026 18:07:14 +0200

UFFD PTE bit handling is a bit like swiss cheese, in particular with
recently added RWP mode. Having uffd-wp markers outside uffd-wp VMAs
already confused this code in the past and resulted in uffd-pte bits
confusing other code later.

Let's play safe and just ignore these markers in hugetlb_no_page(), not
silently propagating the uffd-wp PTE bit.
