FOLL_FORCE is really only for ptrace access. According to commit707947247e("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 commit707947247e("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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
