Hi Wei,

nit: Having a changelog would help reviewing.

Obviously AC_CHECK_DECLS() does not require to define _GNU_SOURCE, interesting.

You should include config.h if you want to check for HAVE_DECL_MREMAP_DONTUNMAP:
#include "config.h"
This works just because some header already do it, but that can change in the
future.

Interesting, you don't include <linux/mman.h>, which should have
MREMAP_DONTUNMAP, but the check works as expected. But I would still prefer to
include <linux/mman.h>.

This is copy pasted from userfaultfd01.c. I factored it out to
include/lapi/userfaultfd.h, could you please use it in the next version?

Interesting, we still don't have safe_poll().

man poll(2) says:
return value of zero indicates that the system call timed out before any file descriptors became ready.
userfaultfd01.c checks only for nready == -1, I'm not sure maybe it should also check for 0.
But if you also check for 0, maybe printing nready would be useful (OTOH TERRNO
prints SUCCESS(0)).

Maybe just poll() failed?

Most of this code is the same as in userfaultfd01.c, but I don't see a way to
factor it out more than what I sent in my patch.

very nit: please avoid '.' at the end.

This would be also replaced by my patch, only this would be used:
uffd = SAFE_USERFAULTFD(O_CLOEXEC | O_NONBLOCK, true);

nit: maybe split long line?

nit: long line.

nit: could we remove "Access Content is \"%s\"" ? It's not important for
the result if it pass (you print it also on the failure) and line is too long.

Maybe s/at/of the/ ?

nit: '.' at the end.

I wonder if we check for MREMAP_DONTUNMAP whether we need to have also explicit
check for MREMAP_DONTUNMAP. But sure, it's safer to have runtime kernel check
and check that it was not compiled with an old headers.
Kind regards,
