As with shmem uffd-wp special ptes, only drop the uffd-wp special swap pte if unmapping an entire vma or synchronized such that faults can not race with the unmap operation. This requires passing zap_flags all the way to the lowest level hugetlb unmap routine: __unmap_hugepage_range. In general, unmap calls originated in hugetlbfs code will pass the ZAP_FLAG_DROP_MARKER flag as synchronization is in place to prevent faults. The exception is hole punch which will first unmap without any synchronization. Later when hole punch actually removes the page from the file, it will check to see if there was a subsequent fault and if so take the hugetlb fault mutex while unmapping again. This second unmap will pass in ZAP_FLAG_DROP_MARKER. The justification of "whether to apply ZAP_FLAG_DROP_MARKER flag when unmap a hugetlb range" is (IMHO): we should never reach a state when a page fault could errornously fault in a page-cache page that was wr-protected to be writable, even in an extremely short period. That could happen if e.g. we pass ZAP_FLAG_DROP_MARKER when hugetlbfs_punch_hole() calls hugetlb_vmdelete_list(), because if a page faults after that call and before remove_inode_hugepages() is executed, the page cache can be mapped writable again in the small racy window, that can cause unexpected data overwritten.
