[PATCH 1/1] fanotify: for FAN_MARK_FLUSH check flags

From: Heinrich Schuchardt
Date: Wed Apr 23 2014 - 17:56:54 EST


If fanotify_mark is called with illegal value of arguments flags and marks
it usually returns EINVAL.

When fanotify_mark is called with FAN_MARK_FLUSH the argument flags is not
checked for irrelevant flags like FAN_MARK_IGNORED_MASK.

The patch removes this inconsistency.

If an irrelevant flag is set error EINVAL is returned.
