KFD Thunk maps invisible VRAM BOs with PROT_NONE, MAP_PRIVATE.
is_cow_mapping returns true for these mappings. Add a check for
vm_flags & VM_WRITE to avoid mmap failures on private read-only or
PROT_NONE mappings.

I'm pretty sure that this is not working as expected.

Not sure what you mean. Debugger access to the memory through the PROT_NONE VMAs is definitely working, with both ptrace and /proc/<pid>/mem.

is_cow_mapping() already checks for VM_MAYWRITE, so this here shouldn't be necessary.

AFAICT, VM_MAYWRITE is not based on the PROT_... bits used to create the VMA, but based on the permissions of the file. So as long as the render node is writable, VM_MAYWRITE is set for all VMAs that map it.

I would agree that it's probably a bad idea for the Thunk to map these VMAs with MAP_PRIVATE. We can try changing the Thunk to use MAP_SHARED for these PROT_NONE mappings. But that doesn't change the fact that this kernel patch broke existing usermode.
