The page is already alloc at ion_alloc function, ion_mmap map the alloced pages to user-space. The default prot can be PTE_RDONLY. Take a look at here: set_pte_at() arch/arm64/include/asm: if (pte_dirty(pte) && pte_write(pte)) pte_val(pte) &= ~PTE_RDONLY; else pte_val(pte) |= PTE_RDONLY; So with the dirty bit,it can improve the efficiency and donnot need to handle memory fault when use access.

The extra fault is unfortunate but I'm skeptical about just setting pte_mkdirty. Catalin/Will, do you have any thoughts? Right now it seems like any range mapped with remap_pfn_range will have this extra fault behavior. Is marking the range dirty the best solution? Thanks, Laura
