Looks all sane here from userfault perspective, just one comment below.

Feel free to drop this line, see:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240417212549.2766883-1-peterx@redhat.com

It's still in mm-unstable only.

AFAICT ARM64 also is supported by check_page_table, I also checked ARM's
ptep_modify_prot_commit() which uses set_pte_at(), so it should cover
everything in a superior way already.

With that dropped, feel free to add:
