File-backed memory is prone to being unmapped at any time. It means all information in the pte will be dropped, including the uffd-wp flag. To persist the uffd-wp flag, we'll use the pte markers. This patch teaches the zap code to understand uffd-wp and know when to keep or drop the uffd-wp bit. Add a new flag ZAP_FLAG_DROP_MARKER and set it in zap_details when we don't want to persist such an information, for example, when destroying the whole vma, or punching a hole in a shmem file. For the rest cases we should never drop the uffd-wp bit, or the wr-protect information will get lost. The new ZAP_FLAG_DROP_MARKER needs to be put into mm.h rather than memory.c because it'll be further referenced in hugetlb files later.

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.
