From: Oren Laadan on 17 Mar 2010 12:40 From: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com> As pointed out by Oren Laadan, we want to ensure that unused bits in the clone-flags remain unused and available for future. To ensure this, define a mask of clone-flags and check the flags in the clone() system calls. Changelog[v9]: - Include the unused clone-flag (CLONE_UNUSED) to VALID_CLONE_FLAGS to avoid breaking any applications that may have set it. IOW, this patch/check only applies to clone-flags bits 33 and higher. Changelog[v8]: - New patch in set Signed-off-by: Sukadev Bhattiprolu <sukadev(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Serge E.
