From 656710a60e3693911bee3a355d2f2bbae3faba33 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrea Arcangeli Date: Fri, 8 Sep 2017 16:12:42 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] userfaultfd: non-cooperative: closing the uffd without triggering SIGBUS This is an enhancement to avoid a non cooperative userfaultfd manager having to unregister all regions before it can close the uffd after all userfaultfd activity completed. The UFFDIO_UNREGISTER would serialize against the handle_userfault by taking the mmap_sem for writing, but we can simply repeat the page fault if we detect the uffd was closed and so the regular page fault paths should takeover.
