Subject: [PATCH] exec: Remove FOLL_FORCE for stack setup
Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2022 16:34:14 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221118003410.never.653-kees@kernel.org> (raw)

It does not appear that FOLL_FORCE should be needed for setting up the
stack pages. They are allocated using the nascent brpm->vma, which was
newly created with VM_STACK_FLAGS, which an arch can override, but they
all appear to include VM_WRITE | VM_MAYWRITE. Remove FOLL_FORCE.
