[PATCH 6.4 700/800] fanotify: disallow mount/sb marks on kernel internal pseudo fs

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

 



From: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 69562eb0bd3e6bb8e522a7b254334e0fb30dff0c ]

Hopefully, nobody is trying to abuse mount/sb marks for watching all
anonymous pipes/inodes.

I cannot think of a good reason to allow this - it looks like an
oversight that dated back to the original fanotify API.
