commit ff1712f953e27f0b0718762ec17d0adb15c9fd0b upstream. With hardware dirty bit management, calling pte_wrprotect() on a writable, dirty PTE will lose the dirty state and return a read-only, clean entry. Move the logic from ptep_set_wrprotect() into pte_wrprotect() to ensure that the dirty bit is preserved for writable entries, as this is required for soft-dirty bit management if we enable it in the future.

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.
