+.BR UFFD_USER_MODE_ONLY
+This is an userfaultfd specific flag that was introduced since Linux 5.11.
+When set, the userfaultfd object will only be able to handle page faults
+originated from the userspace on the registered regions.
+When a kernel originated fault was triggered on the registered range with
+this userfaultfd, a
+.BR SIGBUS
+signal will be delivered.
.PP
When the last file descriptor referring to a userfaultfd object is closed,
all memory ranges that were registered with the object are unregistered
