[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/hugetlb: tolerate uffd bits set without uffd for PROT_NONE PTEs
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-hugetlb-tolerate-uffd-bits-set-without-uffd-for-prot_none-ptes.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: tolerate uffd bits set without uffd for PROT_NONE PTEs
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2026 18:07:13 +0200

The whole uffd handling when a VMA is unregistered from UFFD is shaky:
there are still some scenarios where we might have stale uffd PTE bits
in VMAs no longer registered for UFFD, which confuses other code.

Let's just tolerate that for now and simply clear the PTE bit. Add a
TODO to really clean up any uffd leftovers when unregistering a VMA from
userfaultfd.

The handling is now more similar to what we have in handle_pte_fault().
