commit 25dda4dabeeb12af5209b0183c788ef2a88dabbe upstream. We can set a bit inside the ppGTT PTE to indicate a page is read-only; writes from the GPU will be discarded. We can use this to protect pages and in particular support read-only userptr mappings (necessary for importing PROT_READ vma).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
