Hi David,

FOLL_FORCE is really only for debugger access. According to commit 707947247e95 ("media: videobuf2-vmalloc: get_userptr: buffers are always writable"), the pinned pages are always writable.
Actually that patch is only a workaround to temporarily disable support for read-only pages as they seemed to suffer from some corruption issues in the retrieved user pages. We expect to support read-only pages as hardware input after. That said, FOLL_FORCE doesn't sound like the right thing even in that case, but I don't know the background behind it being added here in the first place. +Hans Verkuil +Marek Szyprowski do you happen to remember anything about it?
Best regards, Tomasz
FOLL_FORCE in this case seems to be a legacy leftover. Let's just remove it.
