[PATCH 1/1] fanotify_init.2, fanotify_mark.2: ENOSYS if not available

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Both fanotify_init and fanotify_mark return ENOSYS, if the kernel
was configured without setting CONFIG_FANOTIFY=y.

I tested both functions with an appropriately configured kernel 3.14.2.
