What I should have noticed right away as well is that the code was already wrong, sorry. That code doesn't require a noop code cleanup, it requires a fix and the "& ~" needs to stay. This isn't going to make any difference upstream until the uffd-wp support is merged so it is enough to queue it in Peter's queue, or you can merge it independently. Thanks, Andrea >From a0f17bef184c6bb9b99294f202eefb50b6eb43cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 4 Oct 2019 19:09:59 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/1] uffd: wp: clear VM_UFFD_MISSING or VM_UFFD_WP during userfaultfd_register() If the registration is repeated without VM_UFFD_MISSING or VM_UFFD_WP they need to be cleared. Currently setting UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_WP returns -EINVAL, so this patch is a noop until the UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_WP support is applied.
