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.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
