Anon and hugetlbfs handle FOLL_DUMP set by get_dump_page() internally to __get_user_pages(). shmem as opposed has no special FOLL_DUMP handling there so handle_mm_fault() is invoked without mmap_sem and ends up calling handle_userfault() that isn't expecting to be invoked without mmap_sem held. This makes handle_userfault() fail immediately if invoked through shmem_vm_ops->fault during coredumping and solves the problem. It's zero cost as we already had a check for current->flags to prevent futex to trigger userfaults during exit (PF_EXITING).
