Based on linus/master and [1]:
"mm/userfaultfd: enable writenotify while userfaultfd-wp is enabled for a
VMA"
Cleanup page protection handling in uffd-wp when calling
change_protection() and improve unprotecting uffd=wp in private mappings,
trying to set PTEs writable again if possible just like we do during
mprotect() when upgrading write permissions. Make the change_protection()
interface harder to get wrong :)
I consider both pages primarily cleanups, although patch #1 fixes a
corner case with uffd-wp and softdirty tracking for shmem. @Peter, please
let me know if we should flag patch #1 as pure cleanup -- I have no idea
how important softdirty tracking on shmem is.
Survives my simple test case + selftests/vm.
Last patch series before Christmas; happy holidays everyone!
