Hi,
From my side, I managed to avoid the freezing of processes with the
following change in function userfaultfd_release() in file fs/userfaultfd.c
(https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.13/source/fs/userfaultfd.c#L842):
I moved the following command from line 851:
WRITE_ONCE(ctx->released, true);
(https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.13/source/fs/userfaultfd.c#L851)
to line 905, that is exactly before the functions returns 0.
That simple workaround worked for my use case but I am far from sure that is
a correct/sufficient fix for the problem at hand.
Updating the field after userfaultfd_ctx_put() might mean UAF, afaict.
Maybe it's possible to remove ctx->released but only rely on the mmap write
lock. However that'll need some closer look and more thoughts.
To me, the more straightforward way to fix it is to use the patch I
mentioned in the other email:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZLmT3BfcmltfFvbq@x1n/
Or does it mean it didn't work at all?
This patch works for me. mlock() syscall calls GUP with FOLL_UNLOCKABLE and
allows to release mmap lock and retry.
But other GUP call without FOLL_UNLOCKABLE will return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS,
is it a regression for the below commit？

userfaultfd: non-cooperative: closing the uffd without triggering SIGBUS
Thanks,
