userfaultfd contains howe-grown locking of the waitqueue lock, and does not disable interrupts. This relies on the fact that no one else takes it from interrupt context and violates an invariat of the normal waitqueue locking scheme. With aio poll it is easy to trigger other locks that disable interrupts (or are called from interrupt context).

README
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
