mm: userfaultfd: correct dirty flags set for both present and swap pte
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
As David pointed out, what truly matters for mremap and userfaultfd move
operations is the soft dirty bit.  The current comment and
implementation—which always sets the dirty bit for present PTEs and
fails to set the soft dirty bit for swap PTEs—are incorrect.  This could
break features like Checkpoint-Restore in Userspace (CRIU).

This patch updates the behavior to correctly set the soft dirty bit for
both present and swap PTEs in accordance with mremap.
