Why round down? usually we use round up.
The size was already rounded up by exynos_drm_gem_userptr_ioctl so this is
just used to get page count.
got it.

Why force=1? It is almostly core-dump specific option. Why don't you
return
I know that force indicates whether to force write access even if user
mapping is readonly.
right. and then, usually we don't want to ignore access permission. but note,
I'm only talk about generic thing. I have no knowledge drm area.
so we just want to use pages from get_user_pages as
read/write permission.
EFAULT when the page has write permission. IOW, Why your Xorg module
don't map memory w/ PROT_WRITE?
No, Xorg can map memory w/ PROT_WRITE. Couldn't the Xorg map w/ PROT_WRITE
if force = 1? plz, let me know if there is my missing point.
I meant, if Xorg always use PROT_WRITE, you don't need force=1.
