Subject: [PATCH] mm/userfaultfd: compare exact registration modes before
skipping
Changing registration from MISSING|WP to WP returns success but leaves
MISSING enabled. The no-op check sees that WP is already set and skips
the update, so later accesses to missing pages still wait for userspace.
Skip the update only when the current and requested UFFD modes match
exactly.
