Pull fsnotify updates from Jan Kara: - fanotify fix for softlockups when there are many queued events - performance improvement to reduce fsnotify overhead when not used - Amir's implementation of fanotify events with names. With these you can now efficiently monitor whole filesystem, eg to mirror changes to another machine. * tag 'fsnotify_for_v5.9-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jack/linux-fs: (37 commits) fanotify: compare fsid when merging name event fsnotify: create method handle_inode_event() in fsnotify_operations fanotify: report parent fid + child fid fanotify: report parent fid + name + child fid fanotify: add support for FAN_REPORT_NAME fanotify: report events with parent dir fid to sb/mount/non-dir marks fanotify: add basic support for FAN_REPORT_DIR_FID fsnotify: remove check that source dentry is positive fsnotify: send event with parent/name info to sb/mount/non-dir marks audit: do not set FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD in audit marks mask inotify: do not set FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD in non-dir mark mask fsnotify: pass dir and inode arguments to fsnotify() fsnotify: create helper fsnotify_inode() fsnotify: send event to parent and child with single callback inotify: report both events on parent and child with single callback dnotify: report both events on parent and child with single callback fanotify: no external fh buffer in fanotify_name_event fanotify: use struct fanotify_info to parcel the variable size buffer fsnotify: add object type "child" to object type iterator fanotify: use FAN_EVENT_ON_CHILD as implicit flag on sb/mount/non-dir marks ...
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.
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.
