Hi David, Tomasz,

FOLL_FORCE is really only for ptrace access. According to commit
707947247e95 ("media: videobuf2-vmalloc: get_userptr: buffers are always
writable"), get_vaddr_frames() currently pins all pages writable as a
workaround for issues with read-only buffers.

I've decided to revert 707947247e95: I have not been able to reproduce the problem
described in that commit, and Tomasz reported that it caused problems with a
specific use-case they encountered. I'll post that patch soon and I expect it
to land in 6.2. It will cause a conflict with this patch, though.

If the problem described in that patch occurs again, then I will revisit it
and hopefully do a better job than I did before. That commit was not my
finest moment.

In any case, for this patch:

FOLL_FORCE, however, seems to be a legacy leftover as it predates
commit 707947247e95 ("media: videobuf2-vmalloc: get_userptr: buffers are
always writable"). Let's just remove it.

Once the read-only buffer issue has been resolved, FOLL_WRITE could
again be set depending on the DMA direction.
