Thanks, Amir. Applied, with Jan's Reviewed-by.

By the way, I see that there's still no documentation for
FAN_AUDIT/FAN_ENABLE_AUDIT, added in:

    commit de8cd83e91bc3ee212b3e6ec6e4283af9e4ab269
    Author: Steve Grubb <sgrubb@redhat.com>
    Date:   Mon Oct 2 20:21:39 2017 -0400

        audit: Record fanotify access control decisions


Can anyone help with that?

Cheers,

Michael
