Commit a95aef69 ("fanotify: support reporting non-decodeable file handles") merged in v6.5-rc1, added the ability to use an fanotify group with FAN_REPORT_FID mode to watch filesystems that do not support nfs export, but do know how to encode non-decodeable file handles, with the newly introduced AT_HANDLE_FID flag. At the time that this commit was merged, there were no filesystems in-tree with those traits. Commit 16aac5ad ("ovl: support encoding non-decodable file handles"), merged in v6.6-rc1, added this trait to overlayfs, thus allowing fanotify watching of overlayfs with FAN_REPORT_FID mode. In retrospect, allowing an fanotify filesystem/mount mark on such filesystem in FAN_REPORT_FID mode will result in getting events with file handles, without the ability to resolve the filesystem objects from those file handles (i.e. no open_by_handle_at() support). For v6.6, the safer option would be to allow this mode for inode marks only, where the caller has the opportunity to use name_to_handle_at() at the time of setting the mark. In the future we can revise this decision.
