Finally new_flags equals old vm_flags *OR* vm_flags.

It is not necessary to mask them first.

And then how do you clear the flags after the above?

It must be possible to clear the flags (from
UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_MISSING|UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_WP to only one set
or invert).

We have no WP support upstream yet, so maybe that's why it looks
superfluous in practice, but in theory it isn't because it would then
need to be reversed by Peter's (CC'ed) -wp patchset.

The register code has already the right placeholder to support -wp and
so it's better not to break them.

I would recommend reviewing the uffd-wp support and working on testing
the uffd-wp code instead of changing the above.

Thanks,
Andrea

Sorry, I don't get your point. This change is valid to me even from arithmetic
point of view.

    vm_flags == VM_UFFD_MISSING | VM_UFFD_WP

The effect of current code is clear these two bits then add them. This equals
to just add these two bits.

I am not sure which part I lost.

The cleaned removed the "& ~" and that was enough to quickly tell the
cleaned up version was wrong.

What I should have noticed right away as well is that the code was
already wrong, sorry. That code doesn't require a noop code cleanup,
it requires a fix and the "& ~" needs to stay.

This isn't going to make any difference upstream until the uffd-wp
support is merged so it is enough to queue it in Peter's queue, or you
can merge it independently.

Thanks,
Andrea

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] uffd: wp: clear VM_UFFD_MISSING or VM_UFFD_WP during
 userfaultfd_register()

If the registration is repeated without VM_UFFD_MISSING or VM_UFFD_WP
they need to be cleared. Currently setting UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_WP
returns -EINVAL, so this patch is a noop until the
UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_WP support is applied.

IMHO it's good to have it as independent patch so at least it won't
confuse another reader of the master branch.  But just in case, I've
also queued it in my local tree of uffd-wp.
