[PATCH v2 0/9] Extend fanotify dirent events

[Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com>]

Jan,

This is the 2nd version of FAN_REPORT_TARGET_FID patches [1].

In the first version, extra info records about new and old parent+name
were added to FAN_MOVED_FROM event.  This version uses a new event
FAN_RENAME instead, to report those extra info records.
The new FAN_RENAME event was designed as a replacement for the
"inotify way" of joining the MOVED_FROM/MOVED_TO events using a cookie.

FAN_RENAME event differs from MOVED_FROM/MOVED_TO events in several ways:
1) The information about old/new names is provided in a single event
2) When added to the ignored mask of a directory, FAN_RENAME is not
   reported for renames to and from that directory

The group flag FAN_REPORT_TARGET_FID adds an extra info record of
the child fid to all the dirent events, including FAN_REANME.
It is independent of the FAN_RENAME changes and implemented in the
first patch, so it can be picked regardless of the FAN_RENAME patches.

Patches [2] and LTP test [3] are available on my github.
A man page draft will be provided later on.

Thanks,
Amir.
