[PATCH v2 0/4] Support more filesystems with FAN_REPORT_FID

[Amir Goldstein <amir73il@gmail.com>]

Christian,

The grand plan is to be able to use fanotify with FAN_REPORT_FID as a
drop-in replacement for inotify, but with current upstream, inotify is
supported on all the filesystems and FAN_REPORT_FID only on a few.

Making all filesystem support FAN_REPORT_FID requires that all
filesystems will:
1. Support for AT_HANDLE_FID file handles
2. Report non-zero f_fsid

This patch set takes care of the first requirement.
Patches were reviewed by Jan and the nfsd maintainers.

I have another patch in review [2] for adding non-zero f_fsid to many
simple filesystems, but it is independent of this patch set, so no
reason to couple them together.

Note that patch #2 touches many filesystems due to vfs API change,
requiring an explicit ->encode_fh() method. I did not gets ACKs from
all filesystem maintainers, but the change is trivial and does not
change any logic.

Thanks,
Amir.

Changes since v1 [1]:
- Patch #1 already merged into v6.6-rc7
- Fix build without CONFIG_EXPORTFS
- Fix checkpatch warnings
- Define symbolic constant for FILEID_INO64_GEN_LEN
- Clarify documentation (units of) max_len argument

    handles
  exportfs: make ->encode_fh() a mandatory method for NFS export
  exportfs: define FILEID_INO64_GEN* file handle types
  exportfs: support encoding non-decodeable file handles by default
