[PATCH 1/3] fanotify: only destroy mark when both mask and ignored_mask are cleared

From: Lino Sanfilippo
Date: Sat Nov 29 2014 - 18:38:32 EST


In fanotify_mark_remove_from_mask() a mark is destroyed if only one of both
bitmasks (mask or ignored_mask) of a mark is cleared. However the other mask
may still be set and contain information that should not be lost. Thus only
destroy a mark if both masks are cleared.
