-Commit 817be129e6f2 ("mm: validate get_user_pages_fast flags") allowed
-only FOLL_WRITE and FOLL_LONGTERM to be passed to get_user_pages_fast().
-This, combined with the fact that get_user_pages_fast() falls back to
-"slow gup", which *does* accept FOLL_FORCE, leads to an odd situation:
-if you need FOLL_FORCE, you cannot call get_user_pages_fast().
+After DMA is complete, and the device and CPU caches are synchronized,
+it's still required to mark the CPU pages as dirty, if the data was
+coming from the device. However, this driver was just issuing a
+bare put_page() call, without any set_page_dirty*() call.
 
-There does not appear to be any reason for filtering out FOLL_FORCE.
-There is nothing in the _fast() implementation that requires that we
-avoid writing to the pages. So it appears to have been an oversight.
+Fix the problem, by calling set_page_dirty_lock() if the CPU pages
+were potentially receiving data from the device.
 
-Fix by allowing FOLL_FORCE to be set for get_user_pages_fast().
