That a VMA is accessible is always checked, however VMA_MAYREAD_BIT is not. All user mappings always have VMA_MAYREAD_BIT set, so this check only impacts kernel mappings. It is implemented specifically to disallow population of uprobes XOL mappings which are exec-only. A nasty interaction with these mappings may occur if they are mlocked, so actively disallow this early. This allows a subsequent commit to remove the VM_IO check in __mm_populate() which otherwise requires non-MMIO mappings to be wrongly flagged simply as a workaround.
