We don't have "huge" version of pte markers, instead when necessary we split the thp. However split the thp is not enough, because file-backed thp is handled totally differently comparing to anonymous thps: rather than doing a real split, the thp pmd will simply got cleared in __split_huge_pmd_locked(). That is not enough if e.g. when there is a thp covers range [0, 2M) but we want to wr-protect small page resides in [4K, 8K) range, because after __split_huge_pmd() returns, there will be a none pmd, and change_pmd_range() will just skip it right after the split. Here we leverage the previously introduced change_pmd_prepare() macro so that we'll populate the pmd with a pgtable page after the pmd split (in which process the pmd will be cleared for cases like shmem). Then change_pte_range() will do all the rest for us by installing the uffd-wp pte marker at any none pte that we'd like to wr-protect.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
