    fanotify: support events with data type FSNOTIFY_EVENT_INODE · 83b535d2
    Amir Goldstein authored
    When event data type is FSNOTIFY_EVENT_INODE, we don't have a refernece
    to the mount, so we will not be able to open a file descriptor when user
    reads the event. However, if the listener has enabled reporting file
    identifier with the FAN_REPORT_FID init flag, we allow reporting those
    events and we use an identifier inode to encode fid.
    
    The inode to use as identifier when reporting fid depends on the event.
    For dirent modification events, we report the modified directory inode
    and we report the "victim" inode otherwise.
    For example:
    FS_ATTRIB reports the child inode even if reported on a watched parent.
    FS_CREATE reports the modified dir inode and not the created inode.
