I have created a cuttlefish build and have tested with the attached
userfaultfd program:

1) Without these kernel patches the program executes without any restrictions

vsoc_x86_64:/ $ ./system/bin/userfaultfdSimple
api: 170
features: 511
ioctls: 9223372036854775811

read: Try again


2) With these patches applied but without any policy the 'permission
denied' is thrown

vsoc_x86_64:/ $ ./system/bin/userfaultfdSimple
syscall(userfaultfd): Permission denied

with the following logcat message:
11-18 14:21:44.041  3130  3130 W userfaultfdSimp: type=1400
audit(0.0:107): avc: denied { create } for dev="anon_inodefs"
ino=45031 scontext=u:r:shell:s0 tcontext=u:object_r:shell:s0
tclass=anon_inode permissive=0


3) With the attached .te policy file in place the following output is
observed, confirming that the patch is working as intended.
vsoc_x86_64:/ $ ./vendor/bin/userfaultfdSimple
UFFDIO_API: Permission denied

with the following logcat message:
11-18 14:33:29.142  2028  2028 W userfaultfdSimp: type=1400
audit(0.0:104): avc: denied { ioctl } for
path="anon_inode:[userfaultfd]" dev="anon_inodefs" ino=41169
ioctlcmd=0xaa3f scontext=u:r:userfaultfdSimple:s0
tcontext=u:object_r:uffd_t:s0 tclass=anon_inode permissive=0

		return -1;
	} else if (count == 0) {
		printf("read EOF\n\n");
	}

	printf("read uffd\n\n");

	return 0;
