Currently we verify that the allowed flags are passed for the case where we have a filename. We need to do the same for the non-filename case, and we should also check that we don't pass flags that don't make sense for this case. Eric's patch is doing exactly that. The only thing he could do even better is to add a testcase to xfstests to verify this :) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-api" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
