  If we do not enforce valid flags are passed by an application, this
application might face issues in the future when we add more flags.

Thanks. I'd even consider it as a bug and the fix to be
backported.

A nit below, other than that:

I think it is better to check arguments in parameters order.
So, it is a bit better to move the check to happen after
cache_size validation below.

I wondered too when writing the patch.
I'd like to hear from others.

Backporting risks breaking existing applications which were validated
with potentially invalid flags.
So I won't mark it for backport.

I'll send v2 wrt to your other comment.
Thanks Andrew.
