mmap_changing is currently a boolean variable, which is set and cleared
without any lock that protects against concurrent modifications.
mmap_chanign is supposed to mark whether userfaultfd page-faults
handling should be retried since mappings are undergoing a change.
However, concurrent calls, for instance to madvise(MADV_DONTNEED), might
cause mmap_changing to be false, although the remove event was still not
read (hence acknowledged) by the user.
Change mmap_changing to atomic_t and increase/decrease appropriately.
Add a debug assertion to see whether mmap_changing is negative.

From: Nadav Amit <namit@vmware.com>
userfaultfd assumes that the enabled features are set once and never
changed after UFFDIO_API ioctl succeeded.
However, currently, UFFDIO_API can be called concurrently from two
different threads, succeed on both threads and leave userfaultfd's
features in non-deterministic state. Theoretically, other uffd
operations (ioctl's and page-faults) can be dispatched while adversely
affected by such changes of features.
Moreover, the writes to ctx->state and ctx->features are not ordered,
which can - theoretically, again - let userfaultfd_ioctl() think
that userfaultfd API completed, while the features are still not
initialized.
To avoid races, it is arguably best to get rid of ctx->state. Since
there are only 2 states, record the API initialization in ctx->features
as the uppermost bit and remove ctx->state.

From: Nadav Amit <namit@vmware.com>
When userfaultfd copy-ioctl fails since the PTE already exists, an
-EEXIST error is returned and the faulting thread is not woken. The
current userfaultfd test does not wake the faulting thread in such case.
The assumption is presumably that another thread set the PTE through
copy/wp ioctl and would wake the faulting thread or that alternatively
the fault handler would realize there is no need to "must_wait" and
continue. This is not necessarily true.
There is an assumption that the "must_wait" tests in handle_userfault()
are sufficient to provide definitive answer whether the offending PTE is
populated or not. However, userfaultfd_must_wait() test is lockless.
Consequently, concurrent calls to ptep_modify_prot_start(), for
instance, can clear the PTE and can cause userfaultfd_must_wait()
to wrongly assume it is not populated and a wait is needed.
There are therefore 3 options:
(1) Change the tests to wake on copy failure.
(2) Wake faulting thread unconditionally on zero/copy ioctls before
returning -EEXIST.
(3) Change the userfaultfd_must_wait() to hold locks.
This patch took the first approach, but the others are valid solutions
with different tradeoffs.
