SubjectRe: [PATCH] vfs: renumber FMODE_NONOTIFY and add to uniqueness check
From
From: David Drysdale <drysdale@google.com>

> Although FMODE_NONOTIFY is only used internally in the kernel it is in
> the same numbering space as the other O_* flags, as indicated by the
> comment at the top of include/uapi/asm-generic/fcntl.h (and its use
> in fs/notify/fanotify/fanotify_user.c). However, its current value
> clashes with the value of O_PATH on sparc, so renumber it to avoid
> the clash.

> All of this has happened before (12ed2e36c98aec6c4155, "fanotify:
> FMODE_NONOTIFY and __O_SYNC in sparc conflict"), and all of this
> will happen again -- so update the uniqueness check in fcntl_init()
> to include __FMODE_NONOTIFY.
