VFS: Sanity check mount flags passed to change_mnt_propagation()
Sanity check the flags passed to change_mnt_propagation(). Exactly one flag should be set. Return EINVAL otherwise. Userspace can pass in arbitrary combinations of MS_* flags to mount(). do_change_type() is called if any of MS_SHARED, MS_PRIVATE, MS_SLAVE, or MS_UNBINDABLE is set. do_change_type() clears MS_REC and then calls change_mnt_propagation() with the rest of the user-supplied flags. change_mnt_propagation() clearly assumes only one flag is set but do_change_type() does not check that this is true. For example, mount() with flags MS_SHARED | MS_RDONLY does not actually make the mount shared or read-only but does clear MNT_UNBINDABLE.
