Thank you for doing this thorough research on all the variants!

It would be great if you could add test coverage for these syscalls.

Simplest would be to clone an LTP inotify test, e.g.
ltp/testcases/kernel/syscalls/inotify/inotify01

for the different splice syscall variants (sendfile as well).

LTP already has other tests for all those syscalls, so there are plenty
of examples of how to use the LTP helpers to test those syscalls.

You can either clone one inotify test per syscall, or clone one inotify
test that creates a fifo instead of a file that inotify watches
and use a test cases array for the different syscalls to test
(see example of test cases array in inotify10 test).

Thanks,
Amir.
