[PATCH 4.11 02/36] fs: completely ignore unknown open flags

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Jul 10 2017 - 13:27:06 EST


4.11-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx>

commit 629e014bb8349fcf7c1e4df19a842652ece1c945 upstream.

Currently we just stash anything we got into file->f_flags, and the
report it in fcntl(F_GETFD). This patch just clears out all unknown
flags so that we don't pass them to the fs or report them.
