From: Rodrigo Campos <rodrigo@xxxxxxxxxx> This flag was recently added to Linux 5.14 by a patch I wrote: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=0ae71c7720e3ae3aabd2e8a072d27f7bd173d25c This patch adds documentation for the flag, the error code that the flag added and explains in the caveat when it is useful.
