When the mm with uffd-ed vmas fork()-s the respective vmas notify their uffds with the event which contains a descriptor with new uffd. This new descriptor can then be used to get events from the child and populate its mm with data. Note, that there can be different uffd-s controlling different vmas within one mm, so first we should collect all those uffds (and ctx-s) in a list and then notify them all one by one but only once per fork(). The context is created at fork() time but the descriptor, file struct and anon inode object is created at event read time. So some trickery is added to the userfaultfd_ctx_read() to handle the ctx queues' locking vs file creation. Another thing worth noticing is that the task that fork()-s waits for the uffd event to get processed WITHOUT the mmap sem.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
