HMM assumes that pages have READ permissions by default. Inside svm_range_validate_and_map, we add READ permissions then add WRITE permissions if the VMA isn't read-only. This will conflict with regions that only have PROT_WRITE or have PROT_NONE. When that happens, svm_range_restore_work will continue to retry, silently, giving the impression of a hang if pr_debug isn't enabled to show the retries.. If pages don't have READ permissions, simply unmap them and continue. If they weren't mapped in the first place, this would be a no-op. Since x86 doesn't support write-only, and PROT_NONE doesn't allow reads or writes anyways, this will allow the svm range validation to continue without getting stuck in a loop forever on mappings we can't use with HMM.

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 reStructuredText 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.
