do_dat_exception() sets
  access = VM_ACCESS_FLAGS;

do_exception() sets
  is_write = (trans_exc_code & store_indication) == 0x400;

and FAULT_FLAG_WRITE
   if (access == VM_WRITE || is_write)
          flags |= FAULT_FLAG_WRITE;

however, for VMA permission checks it only checks
  if (unlikely(!(vma->vm_flags & access)))
          goto out_up;

as VM_ACCESS_FLAGS includes VM_WRITE | VM_READ ...

We end up triggering a write fault (FAULT_FLAG_WRITE), even though the
VMA does not allow for writes.

I assume that's what happens and that it's a bug in s390x code.
