[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/hugetlb: don't leave a uffd-wp marker when zapping an RWP entry
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-hugetlb-dont-leave-a-uffd-wp-marker-when-zapping-an-rwp-entry.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/hugetlb: don't leave a uffd-wp marker when zapping an RWP entry
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2026 18:07:15 +0200

An entry that is protected with UFFDIO_RWPROTECT is PAGE_NONE with the
uffd bit set, the bit that userfaultfd write protection uses too.  When
__unmap_hugepage_range() zaps an entry with that bit it leaves a
PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP behind, whatever the VMA is registered for.

In a VMA registered with UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_RWP that marker means
nothing.  The next fault has hugetlb_no_page() turn it into a present,
read-only entry with the uffd bit.  That is not an RWP entry, since it is
not PAGE_NONE, and the VMA has no VM_UFFD_WP (the two modes can not be
registered together).  An earlier fix solved some side effects, now just
stop the zap from wrongly installing a marker.

Leave a marker only if the VMA is registered for write protection, both
for present and for non-present entries.  The zap of ordinary page
tables has the same test, in cond_install_uffd_wp_ptes(), and
hugetlb_change_protection() says that "uffd_rwp does not install markers".

After a zap the range of an RWP VMA is simply empty, as it is for
anonymous memory and shmem.  Nothing changes for VMAs with VM_UFFD_WP.  In
a VMA that is not registered at all a leftover uffd bit or marker is now
dropped by the zap and no longer kept alive.

Original fix generated by an LLM and sent in private by Josef.
