[PATCH v2 14/46] hugetlb: split PTE markers when doing HGM walks

From: James Houghton
Date: Fri Feb 17 2023 - 19:29:49 EST


Fix how UFFDIO_CONTINUE and UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT interact in these two
ways:
- UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT no longer prevents a high-granularity
UFFDIO_CONTINUE.
- UFFD-WP PTE markers installed with UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT will be
properly propagated when high-granularily UFFDIO_CONTINUEs are
performed.

Note: UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT is not yet permitted at PAGE_SIZE granularity.
