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.

Thanks, Axel. Is wr-protect mode also prone to this? Would a test case help too?

I'm not quite as familiar with uffd-wp, but I think so? At minimum, it seems like waking can't *hurt*, and it would simplify the check slightly -- if (userfaultfd_armed(vma)) {}
It would also mean if we add yet another registration mode in the future, we wouldn't forget to update this.
I'll send a v2 to address both points.

Thanks for fixing this issue.

Actually, WAKE ioctl doesn't check if the provided range is registered with userfaultfd or not. So, it's possible to wake the waiting threads after unregisteration.
But, in this context, missing faults are the same as minor faults (and wp too?). Therefore, waking the waiting threads as part of unregistration is expected.
So, wake for minor faults just like we already do for missing faults as part of the unregistration process.
