For the record, I feel obliged to reiterate I'm thinking purely in clear_refs terms here. It'd be great if we can only focus on clear_refs_write and nothing else. Like I said earlier, whatever way clear_refs/softdirty copes with do_wp_page, uffd-wp can do the identical thing so, uffd-wp is effectively irrelevant in this whole discussion. Clear-refs/softdirty predates uffd-wp by several years too. Thanks, Andrea
