What would you propose to fix? Change fsid_t member to val[2]?
I'm a bit confused, which one is correct.
Or removing fanotify_event_info_fid struct?

In musl: 32b82cf5 ("fix the fsid_t structure to match name of __val")
changed it from val[2] to __val[2] in 2011 with comment:

    this is a case of poorly written man pages not matching the actual
    implementation, and why i hate implementing nonstandard interfaces
    with no actual documentation of how they're intended to work.

Kernel defines __kernel_fsid_t with val[2]
/* kernel include/uapi/asm-generic/posix_types.h */
#ifndef __kernel_fsid_t
typedef struct {
	int	val[2];
} __kernel_fsid_t;
#endif

And it was using val[2] at least in v2.6.31-rc1 - no sing to be __val[2].

glibc has __val[2] member. That's what triggered musl change I guess.
It looks to me it was here 2.3.1, before it used __u_quad_t
(typedef unsigned long long int __u_quad_t), but still with __val[2].

/* glibc posix/bits/types.h */
__STD_TYPE __FSID_T_TYPE __fsid_t;	/* Type of file system IDs.  */
/* glibc bits/typesizes.h */
#define __FSID_T_TYPE		struct { int __val[2]; }
/* glibc bits/statvfs.h */
struct statvfs
  {
...
    __fsid_t f_fsid;

Uclibc defines __kernel_fsid_t, sometimes defines it as val[2] and sometimes
have a condition __USE_ALL to have it val[2] (not sure if __USE_ALL is a
default, I haven't found any doc about it (is it uclibc specific or what?)

/* uclibc include/sys/types.h */
typedef __fsid_t fsid_t;

/* uclibc libc/sysdeps/linux/x86_64/bits/kernel_types.h */
typedef struct {
#ifdef __USE_ALL
	int val[2];
#else
	int __val[2];
#endif
} __kernel_fsid_t;

#endif
/* uclibc libc/sysdeps/linux/aarch64/bits/kernel_types.h */
typedef struct {
	int	val[2];
} __kernel_fsid_t;

But for __fsid_t uses the same code as glibc, with __val[2].

=> libc types use __val[2], kernel types __val.
The problem is really with mixing kernel and libc struct.
That's why I'd be to ask musl to remove it.

Kind regards,
Petr
