Re: [PATCH 10/10] mm: replace access_process_vm() write parameter with gup_flags

This patch removes the write parameter from access_process_vm() and replaces it with a gup_flags parameter as use of this function previously _implied_ FOLL_FORCE, whereas after this patch callers explicitly pass this flag.

We make this explicit as use of FOLL_FORCE can result in surprising behaviour (and hence bugs) within the mm subsystem.
