From 7ab72c597356be1e7f0f3d856e54ce78527f43c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Bresticker abrestic@rivosinc.com Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2022 15:37:01 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] riscv: Make VM_WRITE imply VM_READ

RISC-V does not presently have write-only mappings as that PTE bit pattern is considered reserved in the privileged spec, so allow handling of read faults in VMAs that have VM_WRITE without VM_READ in order to be consistent with other architectures that have similar limitations.
