From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: userfaultfd_copy: return -ENOSPC in case mm has gone In the non-cooperative userfaultfd case, the process exit may race with outstanding mcopy_atomic called by the uffd monitor. Returning -ENOSPC instead of -EINVAL when mm is already gone will allow uffd monitor to distinguish this case from other error conditions.
