not to call __fsnotify_parent(), we left out the optimization.

Note that in fnsotify_move() and fsnotify_link() we are guaranteed
that dentry-&gt;d_name won't change during the fsnotify() evaluation
(by having the parent directory locked exclusive), so we don't
need to fetch dentry-&gt;d_name.name in the callers.  In fsnotify_dirent()
the same stability of dentry-&gt;d_name is also true, but it's a bit
more convoluted - there is one callchain (devpts_pty_new() -&gt;
fsnotify_create() -&gt; fsnotify_dirent()) where the parent is _not_
locked, but on devpts -&gt;d_name of everything is unchanging; it
has neither explicit nor implicit renames.

<title>fsnotify: send all event types to super block marks</title>

<content type='text'>
So far, existence of super block marks was checked only on events with
data type FSNOTIFY_EVENT_PATH. Use the super block of the "to_tell" inode
to report the events of all event types to super block marks.

This change has no effect on current backends. Soon, this will allow
fanotify backend to receive all event types on a super block mark.

<title>fanotify: introduce new event mask FAN_OPEN_EXEC_PERM</title>

<content type='text'>
A new event mask FAN_OPEN_EXEC_PERM has been defined. This allows users
to receive events and grant access to files that are intending to be
opened for execution. Events of FAN_OPEN_EXEC_PERM type will be
generated when a file has been opened by using either execve(),
execveat() or uselib() system calls.

This acts in the same manner as previous permission event mask, meaning
that an access response is required from the user application in order
to permit any further operations on the file.

A new event mask FAN_OPEN_EXEC has been defined so that users have the
ability to receive events specifically when a file has been opened with
the intent to be executed. Events of FAN_OPEN_EXEC type will be
generated when a file has been opened using either execve(), execveat()
or uselib() system calls.

The feature is implemented within fsnotify_open() by generating the
FAN_OPEN_EXEC event type if __FMODE_EXEC is set within file-&gt;f_flags.

<title>fanotify: fix handling of events on child sub-directory</title>

<id>b469e7e47c8a075cc08bcd1e85d4365134bdcdd5</id>
<content type='text'>
When an event is reported on a sub-directory and the parent inode has
a mark mask with FS_EVENT_ON_CHILD|FS_ISDIR, the event will be sent to
fsnotify() even if the event type is not in the parent mark mask
(e.g. FS_OPEN).

Further more, if that event happened on a mount or a filesystem with
a mount/sb mark that does have that event type in their mask, the "on
child" event will be reported on the mount/sb mark.  That is not
desired, because user will get a duplicate event for the same action.

Note that the event reported on the victim inode is never merged with
the event reported on the parent inode, because of the check in
should_merge(): old_fsn-&gt;inode == new_fsn-&gt;inode.

Fix this by looking for a match of an actual event type (i.e. not just
FS_ISDIR) in parent's inode mark mask and by not reporting an "on child"
event to group if event type is only found on mount/sb marks.

[backport hint: The bug seems to have always been in fanotify, but this
                patch will only apply cleanly to v4.19.y]
