Is this a good default having to explicitly specify that you don't want
special pte's left in place? For example the OOM killer seems to call
unmap_page_range() with details == NULL (although in practice only for
anonymous vmas so it wont actually cause an issue). Similarly in madvise
for MADV_DONTNEED, although arguably I suppose that is the correct thing to
do there?

I'm probably missing something but when can we actually have this case and why
would we want to leave a special pte behind? From what I can tell this is
called from try_to_unmap_one() where this won't be true or from zap_pte_range()
when not skipping swap pages.

Why the WARN_ON and not just test pte_swp_uffd_wp_special() directly?

Device entries only support anonymous vmas at present so should we drop this?
I guess I'm also a little confused by this because I'm not sure in what
scenarios you would want to zap swap entries but leave special swap ptes behind
(see also my earlier question above as well).

From what I can tell we don't need to do this in try_to_migrate_one() (assuming
that goes in) as well because the existing uffd wp code already deals with
copying the pte bits over to the migration entries. Is that correct?
