Subject: userfaultfd_zeropage: return -ENOSPC in case mm has gone
From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
commit 9d95aa4bada24be35bb94827a55e1d6e243d866e upstream.
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.
Unfortunately I overlooked userfaultfd_zeropage when updating
userfaultd_copy().
