------------------------------------------------------
From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: userfaultfd: non-cooperative: avoid MADV_DONTNEED race condition
MADV_DONTNEED must be notified to userland before the pages are zapped.
This allows userland to immediately stop adding pages to the userfaultfd
ranges before the pages are actually zapped or there could be non-zeropage
leftovers as result of concurrent UFFDIO_COPY run in between
zap_page_range and madvise_userfault_dontneed (both MADV_DONTNEED and
UFFDIO_COPY runs under the mmap_sem for reading, so they can run
concurrently).
