Subject: [PATCH 07/10] ioctl_userfaultfd.2: correct and update UFFDIO_API
 ioctl error codes

Precedence: bulk

First, it is not correct that repeated UFFDIO_API calls result in
EINVAL. This is true *if both calls enable features*, but in the case
where we're doing a two-step feature detection handshake, the kernel
explicitly expects 2 calls (one with no features set). So, correct this
description.

Then, some new error cases have been added to the kernel recently, and
the man page wasn't updated to note these. So, add in descriptions of
these new error cases.
