Hi Xu,
> 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. In order to use userfaultfd always, require CAP_SYS_PTRACE.
