This is all a little tricky.

It's not good that 6.0 and earlier permit unprivileged userspace to
trigger a WARN. But we cannot backport this fix into earlier kernels
because it requires the series "mm/gup: remove FOLL_FORCE usage from
drivers (reliable R/O long-term pinning)".

Is it possible to come up with a fix for 6.1 and earlier which won't
break RDMA?
