    fanotify: allow userspace to override max marks · ac7e22dc
    Eric Paris 提交于
    Some fanotify groups, especially those like AV scanners, will need to place
    lots of marks, particularly ignore marks.  Since ignore marks do not pin
    inodes in cache and are cleared if the inode is removed from core (usually
    under memory pressure) we expose an interface for listeners, with
    CAP_SYS_ADMIN, to override the maximum number of marks and be allowed to
    set and 'unlimited' number of marks.  Programs which make use of this
    feature will be able to OOM a machine.
