Subject: [PATCH 4.12 021/106] userfaultfd: non-cooperative: flush event_wqh at release time

4.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>

commit 5a18b64e3f02125be1c0ef777501ae38aafe2a24 upstream.

There may still be threads waiting on event_wqh at the time the
userfault file descriptor is closed.  Flush the events wait-queue to
prevent waiting threads from hanging.

Fixes: 9cd75c3cd4c3d ("userfaultfd: non-cooperative: add ability to report
non-PF events from uffd descriptor")
