Looks like what we fixed for hugetlb in commit 44f86392bdd1 ("mm/hugetlb:
fix uffd-wp handling for migration entries in hugetlb_change_protection()")
similarly applies to THP.

Setting/clearing uffd-wp on THP migration entries is not implemented
properly. Further, while removing migration PMDs considers the uffd-wp
bit, inserting migration PMDs does not consider the uffd-wp bit.

We have to set/clear independently of the migration entry type in
change_huge_pmd() and properly copy the uffd-wp bit in
set_pmd_migration_entry().

Verified using a simple reproducer that triggers migration of a THP, that
the set_pmd_migration_entry() no longer loses the uffd-wp bit.

Thanks, one trivial nitpick:

I think it's fine to use *pmd, but maybe still better to use pmdval? I
worry pmdp_invalidate()) can be something else in the future that may
affect the bit.

Wondering how I ended up with that, I realized that it's actually
wrong and might have worked by chance for my reproducer on x86.

That should make it work:

I guess pmd_swp_uffd_wp() just reads the _USER bit 2 which is also set for
a present pte, but then it sets swp uffd-wp always even if it was not set.


Yes. I modified the reproducer to migrate without uffd-wp first and we suddenly gain a uffd-wp bit.

Yes the change must be squashed in to be correct, with that, my R-b keeps.

Thanks, I will resend later.
