[PATCH mm-unstable v1 10/20] RDMA/umem: remove FOLL_FORCE usage

From: David Hildenbrand <hidden>
Date: 2022-11-16 10:38:56
Also in: dri-devel, linux-alpha, linux-arm-kernel, linux-fsdevel, linux-kselftest, linux-media, linux-mips, linux-mm, linux-perf-users, linux-rdma, linux-samsung-soc, linux-security-module, linux-um, lkml, sparclinux
Subsystem: infiniband subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Jason Gunthorpe, Leon Romanovsky, Linus Torvalds

GUP now supports reliable R/O long-term pinning in COW mappings, such
that we break COW early. MAP_SHARED VMAs only use the shared zeropage so
far in one corner case (DAXFS file with holes), which can be ignored
because GUP does not support long-term pinning in fsdax (see
check_vma_flags()).

Consequently, FOLL_FORCE | FOLL_WRITE | FOLL_LONGTERM is no longer required
for reliable R/O long-term pinning: FOLL_LONGTERM is sufficient. So stop
using FOLL_FORCE, which is really only for ptrace access.
