The patch titled
Subject: userfaultfd: selftest: recycle lock threads first
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
userfaultfd-selftest-recycle-lock-threads-first.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Peter Xu <peterx@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: userfaultfd: selftest: recycle lock threads first
Now we recycle the uffd servicing threads earlier than the lock threads.
It might happen that when the lock thread is still blocked at a pthread
mutex lock while the servicing thread has already quitted for the cpu so
the lock thread will be blocked forever and hang the test program. To fix
the possible race, recycle the lock threads first.
This never happens with current missing-only tests, but when I start to
run the write-protection tests (the feature is not yet posted upstream) it
happens every time of the run possibly because in that new test we'll need
to service two page faults for each lock operation.
