Thank you for looking at this.

In this case, I think we need to check the PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING flag
and skip these vma-s only if it is set.

If PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING isn't set, this ioctl returns page flags and
can be used without the intention of tracking memory changes.

I think the idea here could be to report page flags but doesn't
write-protect such pages.

Thanks,
