Being able to provide a custom protection opens the door for inconsistencies and BUGs: for example, accidentally allowing for more permissions than desired by other mechanisms (e.g., softdirty tracking). vma->vm_page_prot should be the single source of truth. Only PROT_NUMA is special: there is no way we can erroneously allow for more permissions when removing all permissions. Special-case using the MM_CP_PROT_NUMA flag.

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.
