But from rhandle's point of view, not much happens. It's just a regular
invalidation and recovery, I think covered by the mmap-invalidate tests.

No, that mprotect(PROT_WRITE) reports an error if you try to change the
protection from PROT_READ, so you are not allowed to create
mmap_gtt(PROT_WRITE) into a read-only userptr, nor are you allowed to
get around that restriction by changing the CPU PTE protection later.
