Nothing makes me unhappy from a quick scan through these patches.
And I'd really love to just have this long saga ended, and FOLL_FORCE
finally relegated to purely ptrace accesses.
So an enthusiastic Ack from me.
Thanks Linus! My hope is that we can remove it from all drivers and not
have to leave it in for some corner cases; so far it looks promising.
