mm/mlock.c: mlockall error for flag MCL_ONFAULT
If mlockall() is called with only MCL_ONFAULT as flag, it removes any previously applied lockings and does nothing else. This behavior is counter-intuitive and doesn't match the Linux man page. For mlockall(): EINVAL Unknown flags were specified or MCL_ONFAULT was specified without either MCL_FUTURE or MCL_CURRENT. Consequently, return the error EINVAL, if only MCL_ONFAULT is passed. That way, applications will at least detect that they are calling mlockall() incorrectly.
