Subject: mm/mlock.c: mlockall error for flag MCL_ONFAULT
Git-commit: dedca63504a204dc8410d98883fdc16dffa8cb80
Patch-mainline: v5.2-rc5
References: bsc#1148527, VM Functionality
If mlockall() is called with only MCL_ONFAULT as flag, it removes any
previously applied lockings and does nothing else.
This behavior is counter-intuitive and doesn't match the Linux man page.
For mlockall():
EINVAL Unknown flags were specified or MCL_ONFAULT was specified
without either MCL_FUTURE or MCL_CURRENT.
Consequently, return the error EINVAL, if only MCL_ONFAULT is passed.
That way, applications will at least detect that they are calling
mlockall() incorrectly.
