This looks correct to me.

However, I am having a hard time wrapping my head around how UFFDIO_CONTINUE
should work on non-anon private mappings. For example, a private mapping of
a hugetlbfs file. I think we just map the page in the file/cache and do not
set the write bit in the pte. So, yes we would want page_dup_file_rmap()
in this case as shown below.

Adding Axel and Peter on Cc: as they were more involved in adding that code
and the design of UFFDIO_CONTINUE.
