It looks like with V3 patch series a change was introduced which requires kernel to have at least R permission when calling RESTRICT IOCTL. This change was done under the assumption that EPCM requires at least R permission for EMODPE/EACCEPT to succeed. But when testing with V2 version, EACCEPT worked fine with page permission set to PROT_NONE.

Thank you very much for pointing this out. I can revert the change
to what was done in V2 where the only check is to ensure that W requires R.
This is a requirement of EMODPR. Could you please check if this snippet
results in things working for you again?
