Subject: [merged mm-hotfixes-stable] mm-rmap-fix-soft-dirty-and-uffd-wp-bit-loss-when-remapping-zero-filled-mthp-subpage-to-shared-zeropage.patch removed from -mm tree

Precedence: bulk


The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/rmap: fix soft-dirty and uffd-wp bit loss when remapping zero-filled mTHP subpage to shared zeropage
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-rmap-fix-soft-dirty-and-uffd-wp-bit-loss-when-remapping-zero-filled-mthp-subpage-to-shared-zeropage.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/rmap: fix soft-dirty and uffd-wp bit loss when remapping zero-filled mTHP subpage to shared zeropage
Date: Tue, 30 Sep 2025 16:10:40 +0800

When splitting an mTHP and replacing a zero-filled subpage with the shared
zeropage, try_to_map_unused_to_zeropage() currently drops several
important PTE bits.

For userspace tools like CRIU, which rely on the soft-dirty mechanism for
incremental snapshots, losing the soft-dirty bit means modified pages are
missed, leading to inconsistent memory state after restore.

As pointed out by David, the more critical uffd-wp bit is also dropped. 
This breaks the userfaultfd write-protection mechanism, causing writes to
be silently missed by monitoring applications, which can lead to data
corruption.

Preserve both the soft-dirty and uffd-wp bits from the old PTE when
creating the new zeropage mapping to ensure they are correctly tracked.
