[PATCH 07/20] fanotify: allow userspace to flush all marks

From: Eric Paris
Date: Thu Oct 28 2010 - 17:33:06 EST


fanotify is supposed to be able to flush all marks. This is mostly useful
for the AV community to flush all cached decisions on a security policy
change. This functionality has existed in the kernel but wasn't correctly
exposed to userspace.
