[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: selftests/mm/uffd: don't treat UFFDIO_COPY -ENOENT as a failure
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     selftests-mm-uffd-dont-treat-uffdio_copy-enoent-as-a-failure.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: selftests/mm/uffd: don't treat UFFDIO_COPY -ENOENT as a failure

Non-cooperarive uffd events are inherently racy and can happen in parallel
with other userfaultfd operations.

During event tests in uffd-unit-tests, the uffd monitor calls
UFFDIO_UNREGISTER upon receiving UFFD_EVENT_REMOVE.

In parallel, the faulting_process() verifies that the removed memory is
actually zeroed.

If a verification read wins the race with UFFDIO_UNREGISTER, it causes a
missing fault that uffd monitor would receive after UFFDIO_UNREGISTER is
complete.  The monitor resolves the fault using UFFDIO_COPY that fails
with -ENOENT which means that VMA has been changed (see commit
27d02568f529 ("userfaultfd: mcopy_atomic: return -ENOENT when no
compatible VMA found")).

Treat -ENOENT returned by UFFDIO_COPY as non-fatal, the same way -EEXIST
is treated for concurrent faults, and don't fail the test.
