David Hildenbrand 25365e1069 mm/memory: ignore dirty/accessed/soft-dirty bits in folio_pte_batch()
Let's always ignore the accessed/young bit: we'll always mark the PTE as
old in our child process during fork, and upcoming users will similarly
not care.

Ignore the dirty bit only if we don't want to duplicate the dirty bit into
the child process during fork.  Maybe, we could just set all PTEs in the
child dirty if any PTE is dirty.  For now, let's keep the behavior
unchanged, this can be optimized later if required.

Ignore the soft-dirty bit only if the bit doesn't have any meaning in the
src vma, and similarly won't have any in the copied dst vma.

For now, we won't bother with the uffd-wp bit.

README

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.
