This is an interesting way to detect whether the page is written.. I would
have thought you would reuse soft-dirty bit.

For swap case, you missed the pte markers (which can exist for !anon
memory). You can have a look at pte_swp_uffd_wp_any().

vma_can_userfault() is too coarse. Maybe what you wanted to check is
userfaultfd_wp(vma)?

This is the function to test "whether the walker should walk the vma
specified". This check should IIUC be meaningless because found_pages
doesn't boost during vma switching, while OTOH your pmd walker fn should do
proper check when increasing found_pages and return -ENOSPC properly when
the same condition met. That should be enough, IMHO.

I saw it already a few times in this patch, I think maybe you want a helper
for this one taking *p as argument.

I'd rather not have this helper; it doesn't really help a lot.

None of the check above is needed, I think..

vma ranges are checked before pmd_entry() called. found_pages should be
checked when increased (I think it's [1] above).

This 'if' should be out - skip loop if not needed.

Do we care about hugetlb at all? So far it seems you don't. It's fine,
then if you decided to go the uffd-wp way you can explicit declare no
support on hugetlb, as uffd-wp sync supports it so it should be by default
supported otherwise.
