Re: [PATCH 19/21] userfaultfd: remap_pages: UFFDIO_REMAP preparation

I again have a concern about the case when one task monitors the VM of the
other one. If the target task (owning the mm) unmaps a VMA then the monitor
task (holding and operating on the ufd) will get plain EINVAL on UFFDIO_REMAP
request. This is not fatal, but still inconvenient as it will be hard to
find out the reason for failure -- dst VMA is removed and the monitor should
just drop the respective pages with data, or some other error has occurred
and some other actions should be taken.

Thanks,
Pavel
