    mm/gup: allow FOLL_FORCE for get_user_pages_fast() · f4000fdf
    John Hubbard 提交于
    Commit 817be129 ("mm: validate get_user_pages_fast flags") allowed
    only FOLL_WRITE and FOLL_LONGTERM to be passed to get_user_pages_fast().
    This, combined with the fact that get_user_pages_fast() falls back to
    "slow gup", which *does* accept FOLL_FORCE, leads to an odd situation:
    if you need FOLL_FORCE, you cannot call get_user_pages_fast().
    
    There does not appear to be any reason for filtering out FOLL_FORCE.
    There is nothing in the _fast() implementation that requires that we
    avoid writing to the pages.  So it appears to have been an oversight.
    
    Fix by allowing FOLL_FORCE to be set for get_user_pages_fast().
