Can you verify this fix:
From a65381bc86d2963713b6a9c4a73cded7dd184282 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2017 16:36:59 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/1] userfaultfd: shmem: __do_fault requires VM_FAULT_NOPAGE
__do_fault assumes vmf->page has been initialized and is valid if VM_FAULT_NOPAGE is not returned by vma->vm_ops->fault(vma, vmf).
handle_userfault() in turn should return VM_FAULT_NOPAGE if it doesn't return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS or VM_FAULT_RETRY (the other two possibilities).
This VM_FAULT_NOPAGE case is only invoked when signal are pending and it didn't matter for anonymous memory before. It only started to matter since shmem was introduced. hugetlbfs also takes a different path and doesn't exercise __do_fault.
