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()). commit cd5297b0855f ("drm/etnaviv: Use FOLL_FORCE for userptr") documents that FOLL_FORCE | FOLL_WRITE was really only used for reliable R/O pinning. 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.
