Currently if we request a feature that is not set in the Kernel config we fail silently and return the available features. However, the documentation indicates we should return an EINVAL.
I assume you are referencing
"EINVAL The API version requested in the api field is not supported by this kernel, or the features field passed to the kernel includes feature bits that are not supported by the current kernel version."
and
"To enable userfaultfd features the application should set a bit corresponding to each feature it wants to enable in the features field. If the kernel supports all the requested features it will enable them. Otherwise it will zero out the returned uffdio_api structure and return EINVAL. "
in which case I agree.
We need to fix this issue since we can end up with a Kernel warning should a program request the feature UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED on a kernel with the config not set with this feature.
Can you mention which exact one? Is it a WARN* or a pr_warn() ?
Likely we want "Fixes:" here.
