No need to call maybe_mkwrite() to then wrprotect if the source PMD was not writable. It's worth nothing that this now allows for PTEs to be writable even if the source PMD was not writable: if vma->vm_page_prot includes write permissions. As documented in commit931298e103("mm/userfaultfd: rely on vma->vm_page_prot in uffd_wp_range()"), any mechanism that intends to have pages wrprotected (COW, writenotify, mprotect, uffd-wp, softdirty, ...) has to properly adjust vma->vm_page_prot upfront, to not include write permissions. If vma->vm_page_prot includes write permissions, the PTE/PMD can be writable as default. This now mimics the handling in mm/migrate.c:remove_migration_pte() and in mm/huge_memory.c:remove_migration_pmd(), which has been in place for a long time (except that96a9c287e2("mm/migrate: fix wrongly apply write bit after mkdirty on sparc64") temporarily changed it).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
