Can you verify this fix:

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.
