Sorry, I misread. You referred to flags, not mask. There's this in
sys_statx:

if ((flags & AT_STATX_SYNC_TYPE) == AT_STATX_SYNC_TYPE)
return -EINVAL;

this in vfs_statx:

if ((flags & ~(AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW | AT_NO_AUTOMOUNT |
AT_EMPTY_PATH | KSTAT_QUERY_FLAGS)) != 0)
return -EINVAL;

and this in vfs_statx_fd:

if (query_flags & ~KSTAT_QUERY_FLAGS)
return -EINVAL;

I don't necessarily agree with that last one, but other people think it should
be there.

David
