From 2c5b7e1be74ff0175dedbbd325abe9f0dbbb09ae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrea Arcangeli Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2015 15:47:23 -0700 Subject: userfaultfd: avoid missing wakeups during refile in userfaultfd_read During the refile in userfaultfd_read both waitqueues could look empty to the lockless wake_userfault(). Use a seqcount to prevent this false negative that could leave an userfault blocked.
