[PATCH mm-unstable v1 16/20] mm/frame-vector: remove FOLL_FORCE usage

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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.

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.
