[PATCH v3 07/16] mm: handle VM_UFFD_RWP in khugepaged, rmap, and GUP

Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.linux-man,org.kernel.vger.kvm,org.kernel.vger.linux-doc,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel,org.kernel.vger.linux-kselftest,org.kvack.linux-mm
Message-ID <[email protected]>
From: "Kiryl Shutsemau (Meta)" <[email protected]>

Three mm paths outside the fault handler gate on the uffd PTE bit
today: khugepaged (skip collapse on ranges carrying markers), rmap
(cap unmap batching), and GUP (force a fault through
gup_can_follow_protnone). Extend each to treat VM_UFFD_RWP the same
as VM_UFFD_WP; otherwise per-PTE RWP state is silently destroyed or
bypassed.

khugepaged: try_collapse_pte_mapped_thp() and
file_backed_vma_is_retractable() already refuse to collapse or
retract page tables on ranges carrying the uffd PTE bit. Broaden the
VMA predicate from userfaultfd_wp() to userfaultfd_protected() so
VM_UFFD_RWP ranges get the same protection. hpage_collapse_scan_pmd()
needs no change — its existing pte_uffd() check already catches an
RWP PTE because it carries the uffd bit.

rmap: folio_unmap_pte_batch() caps batching at 1 for VM_UFFD_RWP so
the restore path handles each PTE with its own marker.

GUP: gup_can_follow_protnone() forces a fault on VM_UFFD_RWP VMAs
regardless of FOLL_HONOR_NUMA_FAULT. RWP uses protnone as an
access-tracking marker, not for NUMA hinting, so any GUP — read or
write — must go through the userfaultfd fault path.
