Subject: [PATCH v3 14/27] shmem/userfaultfd: Handle the left-overed special swap ptes
Date:   Thu, 27 May 2021 16:22:55 -0400

Note that the special uffd-wp swap pte can be left over even if the page under
the pte got evicted.  Normally when evict a page, we will unmap the ptes by
walking through the reverse mapping.  However we never tracked such information
for the special swap ptes because they're not real mappings but just markers.
So we need to take care of that when we see a marker but when it's actually
meaningless (the page behind it got evicted).

We have already taken care of that in e.g. alloc_set_pte() where we'll treat
the special swap pte as pte_none() when necessary.  However we need to also
teach userfaultfd itself on either UFFDIO_COPY or handling page faults, so that
everything will still work as expected.
