This is a proposal to revert commit914eedcb9b. I found this when writing a simple UFFDIO_API test to be the first unit test in this set. Two things breaks with the commit: - UFFDIO_API check was lost and missing. According to man page, the kernel should reject ioctl(UFFDIO_API) if uffdio_api.api != 0xaa. This check is needed if the api version will be extended in the future, or user app won't be able to identify which is a new kernel. - Feature flags checks were removed, which means UFFDIO_API with a feature that does not exist will also succeed. According to the man page, we should (and it makes sense) to reject ioctl(UFFDIO_API) if unknown features passed in.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
