My apologies for not looking at this sooner. Even now, I have only taken a very brief look at the hugetlbfs patches. Coincidentally, I am working on the 'BUG' that soft dirty does not work for hugetlbfs. As you can imagine, there is some overlap in handling of wp ptes set for soft dirty. In addition, pmd sharing must be disabled for soft dirty as here and in Axel's uffd minor fault code. No objections to the overall approach based on my quick look. I'll try to take a closer look at the areas where efforts overlap. -- Mike Kravetz
