Amir Goldstein 54a307ba8d fanotify: fix logic of events on child
When event on child inodes are sent to the parent inode mark and
parent inode mark was not marked with FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD, the event
will not be delivered to the listener process. However, if the same
process also has a mount mark, the event to the parent inode will be
delivered regadless of the mount mark mask.

This behavior is incorrect in the case where the mount mark mask does
not contain the specific event type. For example, the process adds
a mark on a directory with mask FAN_MODIFY (without FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD)
and a mount mark with mask FAN_CLOSE_NOWRITE (without FAN_ONDIR).

A modify event on a file inside that directory (and inside that mount)
should not create a FAN_MODIFY event, because neither of the marks
requested to get that event on the file.

Fixes: 1968f5eed5 ("fanotify: use both marks when possible")

README

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
