Still, I find it a bit unsettling that pte_install_uffd_wp_if_needed() would work on a potential hugetlb *pte, directly de-referencing it instead of using huge_ptep_get(). The !pte_none(*pte) check at the beginning would be broken in the hugetlb case for s390 (not sure about other archs, but I think s390 might be the only exception strictly requiring huge_ptep_get() for de-referencing hugetlb *pte pointers).We could have used is_vm_hugetlb_page(vma) within the helper so as to properly use either generic pte or hugetlb version of pte fetching. We may want to conditionally do set_[huge_]pte_at() too at the end. I could prepare a patch for that even if it's not really anything urgently needed. I assume that won't need to block this patchset since we need the pteval for pte_dirty() check anyway and uffd-wp definitely needs it too.
OK. Thanks Peter.
