commit a073d637c8cfbfbab39b7272226a3fbf3b887580 upstream.
Now if the PTE/PMD is dirty with _PAGE_DIRTY but without _PAGE_MODIFIED,
after {pte,pmd}_modify() we lose _PAGE_DIRTY, then {pte,pmd}_dirty()
return false and lead to data loss. This can happen in certain scenarios
such as HW PTW doesn't set _PAGE_MODIFIED automatically, so here we need
_PAGE_MODIFIED to record the dirty status (_PAGE_DIRTY).
The new modification involves checking whether the original PTE/PMD has
the _PAGE_DIRTY flag. If it exists, the _PAGE_MODIFIED bit is also set,
ensuring that the {pte,pmd}_dirty() interface can always return accurate
information.

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.
