+From: Xiongchuan Tan <xc-tan@outlook.com>
+Date: Jun 28 2022 15:53:38 +0000
+Subject: As of June 28th, 2022, the RISC-V spec[1] reserves the PTE permission bit
+
+combination of "write+!read", and the kernel would have incoherent behavior in
+the last test case of "harness/cases/5.t". Since it leads to undefined behavior,
+until further spec update, this test case should be disabled for RISC-V.
+
+A patch to disallow such permission in mmap() can be found here[2].
