In non-cooperative case, userfaultfd monitor may encounter a race between
UFFDIO_COPY or UFFDIO_UNREGISTER and the processing of UFFD_EVENT_REMOVE.
Unlike the page faults that suspend the faulting thread until the page
fault is resolved, other events resume execution of the thread that caused
the event immediately after delivering the notification to the userfaultfd
monitor. The monitor may run UFFDIO_COPY in parallel with the event
processing and this may result in memory corruption.
Another race condition is caused if the faulting thread consequently calls
a system call causing UFFD_EVENT_REMOVE and munmap(). In this case, uffd
monitor will try to unregister the removed range as the response for
UFFD_EVENT_REMOVE, but the VMA linked to the uffd context might already be
gone because of munmap().
With UFFD_EVENT_REMOVE_SYNC introduced by this patch, it would be possible
to block the non-cooperative thread until the userfaultfd monitor will
explicitly wake it and thus allow uffd monitor proper processing of
UFFD_EVENT_REMOVE.
