From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: userfaultfd: non-cooperative: wake userfaults after UFFDIO_UNREGISTER Userfaults may still happen after the userfaultfd monitor thread received a UFFD_EVENT_MADVDONTNEED until UFFDIO_UNREGISTER is run. Wake any pending userfault within UFFDIO_UNREGISTER protected by the mmap_sem for writing, so they will not be reported to userland leading to UFFDIO_COPY returning -EINVAL (as the range was already unregistered) and they will not hang permanently either.
