Great catch, thanks!

It was needed before with the "swap special pte" version because that was
handled outside do_swap_page(). After the rebase I forgot to remove it.

I believe it didn't crash simply because we've got commit 2ca99358671a ("mm:
clear vmf->pte after pte_unmap_same() returns", 2021-11-06) very recently so it
just became a safe no-op, so all things will still work.

I'll drop it.

Sure thing, and yeah I agree it's trivial and shouldn't matter in real-life.

I'll change it to "marker == PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP" as you suggested, so if
there's surprise we'll get a sigbus.

Thanks,
