It can be useful in two cases: (1) Uffd-wp app that needs to wr-protect none ptes like QEMU snapshot, so pre-fault can be replaced by enabling this flag and speed up protections (2) It helps to implement async uffd-wp mode that Muhammad is working on [1] It's debateable whether this is the most ideal solution because with the new feature bit set, wr-protect none pte needs to pre-populate the pgtables to the last level (PAGE_SIZE). But it seems fine so far to service either purpose above, so we can leave optimizations for later. The series brings pte markers to anonymous memory too. There's some change in the common mm code path in the 1st patch, great to have some eye looking at it, but hopefully they're still relatively straightforward.
