For the record, I feel obliged to reiterate I'm thinking purely in
clear_refs terms here.
It'd be great if we can only focus on clear_refs_write and nothing
else.
Like I said earlier, whatever way clear_refs/softdirty copes with
do_wp_page, uffd-wp can do the identical thing so, uffd-wp is
effectively irrelevant in this whole discussion. Clear-refs/softdirty
predates uffd-wp by several years too.
Thanks,
Andrea
