[PATCH] userfaultfd: wake on unregister for minor faults as well as missing

From: Axel Rasmussen
Date: Tue Oct 25 2022 - 14:22:00 EST


This was an overlooked edge case when minor faults were added. In
general, minor faults have the same rough edge here as missing faults:
if we unregister while there are waiting threads, they will just remain
waiting forever, as there is no way for userspace to wake them after
unregistration. To work around this, userspace needs to carefully wake
everything before unregistering.

So, wake for minor faults just like we already do for missing faults as
part of the unregistration process.
