When get_user_pages*() is called with pages = NULL, the processing of VM_FAULT_RETRY terminates early without actually retrying to fault-in all the pages. If the pages in the requested range belong to a VMA that has userfaultfd registered, handle_userfault() returns VM_FAULT_RETRY *after* user space has populated the page, but for the gup pre-fault case there's no actual retry and the caller will get no pages although they are present. This issue was uncovered when running post-copy memory restore in CRIU afterd9c9ce34ed("x86/fpu: Fault-in user stack if copy_fpstate_to_sigframe() fails"). After this change, the copying of FPU state to the sigframe switched from copy_to_user() variants which caused a real page fault to get_user_pages() with pages parameter set to NULL. In post-copy mode of CRIU, the destination memory is managed with userfaultfd and lack of the retry for pre-fault case in get_user_pages() causes a crash of the restored process. Making the pre-fault behavior of get_user_pages() the same as the "normal" one fixes the issue.

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.
