Subject: [PATCH 0/7]  userfaultfd: add support for shared memory

These patches enable userfaultfd support for shared memory mappings. The
VMAs backed with shmem/tmpfs can be registered with userfaultfd which
allows management of page faults in these areas by userland.

This patch set adds implementation of shmem_mcopy_atomic_pte for proper
handling of UFFDIO_COPY command. A callback to handle_userfault is added
to shmem page fault handling path. The userfaultfd register/unregister
methods are extended to allow shmem VMAs.

The UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE and UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_WP are not implemented which
is reflected by userfaultfd API handshake methods.

The patches are based on current Andrea's tree:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/andrea/aa.git

Mike Rapoport (7):
  userfaultfd: introduce vma_can_userfault
  userfaultfd: shmem: add shmem_mcopy_atomic_pte for userfaultfd support
  userfaultfd: shmem: introduce vma_is_shmem
  userfaultfd: shmem: use shmem_mcopy_atomic_pte for shared memory
  userfaultfd: shmem: add userfaultfd hook for shared memory faults
  userfaultfd: shmem: allow registration of shared memory ranges
  userfaultfd: shmem: add userfaultfd_shmem test
