[PATCH 02/10] mm: remove write/force parameters from __get_user_pages_unlocked()

From: Lorenzo Stoakes
Date: Wed Oct 12 2016 - 20:25:41 EST


This patch removes the write and force parameters from
__get_user_pages_unlocked() to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit in callers as
use of this flag can result in surprising behaviour (and hence bugs) within the
mm subsystem.
