Hey Andrea,

Down in userfaultfd_wake_function(), it looks like you intended for a
len=0 to mean "wake all".  But the validate_range() that we do from
userspace has a !len check in it, which keeps us from passing a len=0 in
from userspace.

Was that "wake all" for some internal use, or is the check too strict?

I was trying to use the wake ioctl after an madvise() (as opposed to
filling things in using a userfd copy).
