Hi Andrea,

I won't have time for this in the near future unfortunately.
But if you (or anybody on the lists)  are interested in providing
better testing for uffd, we have docs on how to extend syzkaller:
https://github.com/google/syzkaller/blob/master/docs/syscall_descriptions.md#describing-new-system-calls
You may also look at the past changes adding new syscall descriptions
and we have help provided on the syzkaller@ mailing list.
Generally, the core syzkaller team (<1 person overall) can't become
experts and describe thousands of subsystems in a dozen of OSes.
