Hi
Ping.
> Since commit cefdca0a86be ("userfaultfd/sysctl: add vm.unprivileged_userfaultfd").
> , it adds a global sysctl knob "vm.unprivileged_userfaultfd" to control whether
> unprivileged users can use the userfaultfd system calls. Set this to 1 to allow
> unprivileged users to use the userfaultfd system calls, or set this to 0 to
> restrict userfaultfd to only privileged users (with SYS_CAP_PTRACE capability). The
> default value is 1. Add hint about it.
