Hi Axel,

I've just noticed that this patch, now in mm-unstable, regresses the mkdirty mm
selftest:

# [INFO] detected THP size: 2048 KiB
TAP version 13
1..6
# [INFO] PTRACE write access
ok 1 SIGSEGV generated, page not modified
# [INFO] PTRACE write access to THP

# [INFO] PTE-mapping a THP
ok 5 SIGSEGV generated, page not modified
# [INFO] UFFDIO_COPY
not ok 6 UFFDIO_COPY failed
Bail out! 1 out of 6 tests failed
# Totals: pass:5 fail:1 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:0 error:0

Whereas all 6 tests pass against v6.5-rc4.

I'm afraid I don't know the test well and haven't looked at what the issue might
be, but noticed and thought I should point it out.
