[PATCH v2 2/3] userfaultfd: refuse to __mfill_atomic_pte() for unsupported VMAs

From: Mike Rapoport

Date: Wed May 27 2026 - 14:50:53 EST


From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" <rppt@xxxxxxxxxx>

__mfill_atomic_pte() unconditionally dereferences ops because there is an
assumption that VMAs that can undergo mfill_* operations are vetted on
registration and must have valid vm_uffd_ops.

Add a guard against potential bugs and make sure __mfill_atomic_pte() bails
out if ops is NULL.

Suggested-by: Lorenzo Stoakes <ljs@xxxxxxxxxx>
Fixes: ad9ac3081332 ("userfaultfd: introduce vm_uffd_ops->alloc_folio()")
