I don't know enough the details of GUP to understand what you mean. I 
understand you think there is a problem, do you mean ARM64 did it wrong ?

The core mm only has two call sites for pte_access_permitted() which are 
gup_pte_range() and gup_hugepte(). pte_access_permitted() is not 
documented in Documentation/mm/arch_pgtable_helpers.rst

So, what do those two callers expect ?
