Yeah it makes sense to me.  Then here's my plan:

- I'll need to drop previous patch "export wp_page_copy" since then
  it'll be not needed

- I'll introduce another patch to split current do_wp_page() and
  introduce function "wp_page_copy_cont" (better suggestion on the
  naming would be welcomed) which contains most of the wp handling
  that'll be needed for change_pte_range() in this patch and isolate
  the uffd handling:

static vm_fault_t do_wp_page(struct vm_fault *vmf)
	__releases(vmf->ptl)
{
	struct vm_area_struct *vma = vmf->vma;

	if (userfaultfd_pte_wp(vma, *vmf->pte)) {
		pte_unmap_unlock(vmf->pte, vmf->ptl);
		return handle_userfault(vmf, VM_UFFD_WP);
	}

	return do_wp_page_cont(vmf);
}

Then I can probably use do_wp_page_cont() in this patch.

Thanks,
