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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
