Found the cause: commit 91c2e0bcae72a3086c698b5de2b950b885abb0e6 Author: Al Viro <[email protected]> Date: Tue Mar 5 20:10:59 2013 -0500 unify compat fanotify_mark(2), switch to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE Signed-off-by: Al Viro <[email protected]> Which was fixed in: commit 592f6b842f64e416c7598a1b97c649b34241e22d Author: Heiko Carstens <[email protected]> Date: Mon Jan 27 17:07:19 2014 -0800 compat: fix sys_fanotify_mark Commit 91c2e0bcae72 ("unify compat fanotify_mark(2), switch to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE") added a new unified compat fanotify_mark syscall to be used by all architectures. Unfortunately the unified version merges the split mask parameter in a wrong way: the lower and higher word got swapped. This was discovered with glibc's tst-fanotify test case. So kernels between 3.10 and 3.14 are broken. -- Cyril Hrubis [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
