^ here you should check PageAnonExclusive. Please get rid of any
implicit explicit/implcit mapcount checks.

I have some cleanups pending for page_move_anon_rmap(), that moves the
SetPageAnonExclusive hunk out. Here we should be using
page_move_anon_rmap() [or rather, folio_move_anon_rmap() after my cleanups]

I'll send them out soonish.

Yes, can_change_pte_writable() contains the exact logic when we can turn
something easily writable even if it wasn't writable before. which
includes that PageAnonExclusive is set. (but with uffd-wp or softdirty
tracking, there is more to consider)
