[PATCH 11/20] fanotify: limit the number of marks in a singlefanotify group

From: Eric Paris
Date: Thu Oct 28 2010 - 17:33:55 EST


There is currently no limit on the number of marks a given fanotify group
can have. Since fanotify is gated on CAP_SYS_ADMIN this was not seen as
a serious DoS threat. This patch implements a default of 8192, the same as
inotify to work towards removing the CAP_SYS_ADMIN gating and eliminating
the default DoS'able status.
